When a Maryland congressional seat becomes vacant, Gov. Larry Hogan has 10 days to issue a proclamation stating a special primary election and a special general election will be held to fill the vacancy, according to the law. The seat will remain vacant until then.
The special primary election shall be held on a Tuesday that is at least 65 days after the proclamation was issued and the special general election shall be held on a Tuesday that is at least 65 days after the primary. ...
Has this happened before?
DeMarinis said the last time Maryland held a special congressional election was 2008, when Donna Edwards filled the remaining term for Rep. Al Wynn, who resigned.
Who will chair the House Oversight and Reform Committee?
New York Rep. Carolyn Maloney will serve as acting chair of the House Oversight and Reform Committee until Democrats choose a permanent chair at an undetermined future date.
That's according to a senior Democratic leadership aide who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe the decision.
