The special election to replace retiring Representative Diana McWilliams will be held on December 20th. Attorney Michael Migliore has been chosen as the Democratic candidate.
If the Democrats retain this seat (and they should), they will enjoy a three-fifths majority, enabling them to pass tax legislation and override a veto without minority consent.
