Youngkin sets January special election for 7th District Senate seat
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin and Senate leaders reached a deal to hold a January 10 special election to fill the vacancy created by Jen Kiggans resignation after her election to Congress. The plan avoids a court fight over who can set the election for the 7th District in Virginia Beach. The timing allows a new senator to be chosen before the 2023 legislative session.
