Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R-TX) office issued a proclamation Friday, setting Nov. 5 as the date for the special election to replace the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX).
The winner of the special election will carry out the remainder of Jackson Lee’s term, not even two months, in the House of Representatives. On the same day, voters will elect the president, senators, and representatives, including Jackson Lee’s full-time replacement, who will begin a two-year term on Jan. 3, 2025.
