Texas 18: Sylvester Turner (D) died on March 5, 2025.[2] The special election was held on November 4, 2025. As no candidate won a majority, a run-off election was held on January 31, 2026, which Christian Menefee won.[3]
New Jersey 11: Mikie Sherrill (D) resigned on November 20, 2025, following her election as Governor of New Jersey.[4] The special election will be held on April 16, 2026.
Georgia 14: Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) resigned on January 5, 2026.[5] The special election will be held on March 10, 2026.
California 1: Doug LaMalfa (R) died on January 6, 2026.[6] The special election will be held on August 4, 2026.
So -- TEXAS is a win. I call it 218-214.

Hope they find Epstein related pics, video or email for five of them and they are forced out. Of course they could just croak and make it simple. 😀
