The current R state house member, Aaron Bernstein, is a prolific social media user. That came back to bite him when posts of him doing idiotic things like making his young son smoke a cigar and playing an adult-themed game with another boy came to light.

Bernstein issued an apology and vowed to mature, but to my surprise the state Rs have asked him to resign. I doubt he'll do it, but this district was gerrymandered to elect a Dem and had done so prior to Bernstein winning it 4 years ago. With these videos surfacing, it could return to being a Dem seat.

Also, there's a 3rd party candidate who seems to appeal to the same voters who voted for Bernstein and could siphon votes from him. The Dem candidate is a part of the local community development corporation and appears to have a good bit of support in the communities where she needs it.
