The two special elections held Tuesday resulted in no changes to the number of Republicans and Democrats in the House of Delegates. Republicans retained the seat in the 81st District, where Barry Knight won with nearly 83% of the vote. In the 70th, Delores McQuinn ran unopposed and despite the concerns of a write-in candidacy, was elected with just over 73% of the vote. (Information from the SBE.)
Next Tuesday, January 13, there will be another special election, this time in the 46th House District. Democrat Charniele Herring will face Republican Joe Murray. This seat became available when Brian Moran resigned to campaign for governor.
