A bishop's son is hoping to win a seat in Parliament this May.
James Frith is the Labour candidate for Bury North in Lancashire. He's the son of Rt Rev Richard Frith, the Bishop of Hereford.
Bury North's known as a key marginal seat, with the winning MP's party always going on to win the election.
Mr Frith is up against Conservative candidate David Nuttall, who currently has a majority of 2,243 votes.
The bishop's son became the first Labour councillor to represent Elton in Bury for 13 years in 2011, and is now standing as a Member of Parliament for the first time.
The other candidates for Bury North are: Richard Baum (Liberal Democrat), Ian Henderson (UKIP) and John Southworth (Green Party).
