The Speaker of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives announced this morning that a special election will be held during the upcoming primary election to find someone to fill the state house seat left vacant by the retirement of Representative Jeff Pyle.
Pyle announced his retirement yesterday due to long-standing health issues, including a recent bout with cancer and rehabilitation from a stroke suffered in 2020. House speaker Bryan Cutler said that candidates for the office will be selected by a process designated by their respective political parties. The winner of the special election will take office after the results are confirmed, and will serve for the remainder of Pyle’s term, which runs until the end of 2022.
In the meantime, the district offices will remain open under the House’s supervision to assist with constituents with issues or problems and to continue inquiries already in progress.
