Special election to be held for Connecticut House District 5 on March 1

The special general election for the District 5 seat in the Connecticut House of Representatives is on March 1. Maryam Khan (D), Charles Jackson (R, Independent Party), Dean Jones (independent), and Lawrence Jaggon (independent) are competing in the special election. The deadline for parties to nominate candidates passed on Jan. 24. The write-in candidate filing deadline is on Feb. 15.

The special election was called after Brandon McGee (D) resigned on Jan. 7 to work on Gov. Ned Lamont’s (D) re-election campaign. McGee served from 2013 to 2022.

As of February 2022, 33 state legislative special elections have been scheduled for 2022 in 15 states. Between 2011 and 2021, an average of 74 special elections took place each year. Connecticut held 45 state legislative special elections from 2010 to 2021.
