Not exactly @maustermuhle.bsky.social! Per DC law, the special election would occur 70-174 days after Jan. 2 - that would require the DCBOE to schedule a special Ward 4 CM election between March 16-June 22, 2027! So yes, the BOE could schedule the special in April, but it’ll likely be later!

Quick correction here: A special election for the Ward 4 seat on the D.C. Council could be in mid- to late-April, per the waiting period in D.C. law. I counted wrong; apologies!

@janeese4dc.bsky.social just had her first press conference as the presumptive Democratic nominee for D.C. mayor, and here's a 🧵 with some highlights.
First: She's not resigning her Ward 4 seat until she's sworn in as mayor. That means a special election is likely next May or June.
