Former television reporter and politician Guy de Faye is hoping this by-election will see him once again returned to the States.
The former St Helier deputy served as Transport and Technical Services minister in a previous House, but he failed to get re-elected as a deputy in 2008, or as senator when he stood in 2014.
In his manifesto he says "I will support the Island-wide vote and the scrapping of the 'CoM's collective responsibility' in any States Assembly reform."
That's a bit on his policies, but what about the man himself?
We asked him to take the Bailiwick Express's meet the candidates survey:
