Tuesdays special election in the Susquehanna River Valley will pit Democrat against Republican against RepublicanOn Tuesday, voters in a blood-red Susquehanna River Valley district will go to the polls to fill the House seat vacated by former state representative Fred Keller.
What should be a straightforward special election to replace Republican Keller, now a U.S. congressman, with another Republican handpicked by the party has become a little more complicated, thanks to a disgruntled member of the GOP.
Representing the major parties on Tuesdays ballot are Republican David Rowe, a former East Buffalo Township commissioner, and Democrat Jennifer Rager-Kay, a doctor who ran for the seat in 2018.
