Delaware will hold a special election soon to fill the vacant State Senate seat, 19th district. The seat is vacant because Senator Thurman Adams, President Pro Tempore of the Senate, died on June 23.

The Republican nominee will be Joe Booth, and the Libertarian nominee will be Wendy Jones. The Democratic Party had nominated Eddy Parker a week ago, but he withdrew on July 7, so the party will soon choose a new nominee. In Delaware special legislative elections, all parties, major and minor alike, nominate by committee meeting. See this story for more details.
