While most politicos in New Hampshire are tied up in the Presidential race, DC Council members and Mayor Adrian Fenty (D) are going for another reason: to apply pressure to two NH Senators who voted against the DC Voting Right Act last fall.

NH Senators John Sununu and Judd Gregg teamed up with other Republicans to block the bill last September. It fell three votes short of the 60 needed, adding another chapter to the DC struggle for a vote in Congress.

Fenty, Council members and Ilir Zherka of DC Vote, will testify at a hearing on Wednesday. The hearing was organized but NH Representative Condy Rosenwald (D) who introduced HR 26, a bill in the state House urging District residents get a vote in Congress.
