Special election to fill the late Tony DeLuca's seat set for 2/7

The special election to fill the vacancy created when Tony DeLuca was elected posthumously has been set.

With the state House so closely divided, it makes sense to fill all the vacancies as soon as possible.

The Democratic party will convene to discuss the candidates and make their selection. Rs will do the same for their candidate(s), assuming there are any.
