A special election for New York's 25th congressional district was held following the death of U.S. Representative Louise Slaughter. Democrat Joseph Morelle defeated Republican Jim Maxwell on November 6, 2018.
Background
Incumbent representative Louise Slaughter died at the age of 88 on March 16, 2018, after suffering a concussion earlier in the month.[1]
Following precedent set in 2010, concurrent elections were held in November, one to fill the remainder of Slaughter's term, and the other to fill the seat for the next term. The district was left without Congressional representation until then.[2]
Nominees for special elections are selected by the parties in the counties that comprise the congressional district. There are no primaries. The filing deadline for party nominations was August 30, 2018, and for independent petitions was September 4, 2018.[3]
Democratic primary
The following information pertains to the regular election for the 25th District for a full term to the 116th Congress.
As the winner of the special election, Morelle was sworn in on November 13 rather than waiting until the new Congressional term. He also won the regular election for a new two-year term beginning in January 2019.
