Special Elections Planned Across Multiple U.S. Districts

Several special elections are on the horizon across the United States due to recent vacancies in various legislative positions. In California, former Assemblymember Bill Essayli resigned after being appointed U.S. Attorney, prompting a special election for his seat in Assembly District 63, with Natasha Johnson as his endorsed successor. Iowa will hold a special election on April 29 to fill the House District 78 seat left vacant by Sami Scheetz, who resigned to join the Linn County Board of Supervisors. Meanwhile, in Minnesota, a special election is set for a Rock Ridge School Board seat previously held by Pollyann Sorcan, who was removed amid controversy but is now seeking to return. Additionally, Tompkins County, New York, will conduct a special election in June to complete the term of former legislator Susan Currie, with Daniel Nolan currently the only candidate. These elections highlight ongoing political shifts and local governance issues in various states.
