Special replacement convention
[edit]Incumbent Assemblyman Herb Conaway will be resigning in order to take his seat in Congress, after winning his election in the 3rd congressional district in 2024.[20] Under the state constitution, vacancies must be filled within 35 days by the members of the county committee of the political party that the outgoing member was a part of.[13] Burlington County Democratic Chair Matt Riggins originally proposed a "caretaker" proposal, where there would be an interim caretaker who would finish Conaway's term but pledge not to run for the full term in order to not give an "incumbency advantage."[21] Gillespie backed the plan and pledged not to run to fill the remainder of Conaway's term, while Singh saying he would run in the special replacement convention.[22][23] Outgoing County Commissioner Daniel O'Connell entered the replacement convention while pledging not to run for the full term in the June primary.[24] After the Democratic county committee members voted down the caretaker plan proposed by Riggins, Gillespie entered the replacement convention while O'Connell withdrew.[25] On January 25, Singh defeated Gillespie to fill the vacancy.[17]
