Late Rep. Donald Payne Wins NJ Dem House Primary

The Washington Examiner reports:

The late New Jersey Democratic Rep. Donald Payne Jr. won the primary posthumously in the 10th Congressional District on Tuesday as the only Democrat on the ballot.

State and party officials are already preparing for a competitive special election to fill Payne’s seat later this summer. Payne, 65, died on April 24 from a “cardiac episode” following a heart attack earlier that month and battling a series of health troubles over recent years.

Following Payne’s posthumous win on Tuesday, the Democratic committee members of the 10th District’s areas in Essex, Union, and Hudson counties will meet to select their nominee to replace him on the regular November ballot.
