Introduced Text

Calls on the Governor to schedule a special election to fill the vacancy in the Thirty-fifth Senate District.

The resolution urges the Governor to call a special election to fill the vacancy in the Thirty-fifth Senate District, which has been vacant since January 3, 2025, following the election of Senator Kristen McDonald Rivet to the Eighth Congressional District. The Governor's failure to schedule a special election denies the district equal representation and a voice in the state Senate. The resolution highlights the Governor's past practice of scheduling special elections within a month of a vacancy and emphasizes the importance of restoring representation for the district's residents.
