A special election will be held in May after the death of a state representative. Ezequiel Santiago, 45, died on March 15 after a heart attack.
Gov. Ned Lamont has scheduled a special election on Tuesday, May 7 to fill the state representative seat in the 130th Assembly District of the Connecticut House of Representatives, which includes portions of Bridgeport.
State law requires the governor to issue a writ of special election within 10 days of a vacancy in the General Assembly and a special election must be held exactly 46 days after the date the writ was issued, according to the governor’s office.
Lamont issued the writ on Friday, his office said.
