April Freeman, Democratic candidate for Florida's 17th congressional district, suddenly dies.

 

According to Florida statute, it appears as though Steube will face a candidate named by a committee made up of all of the county chairs from the affected counties. The committee will need to name a nominee within five days to fill the vacancy. You can read the statute here.

 

Out-of-state voting ballots have already been mailed with April Freeman's name on them. It may also be difficult to change the name on the ballots for the race in November.
