On Saturday, December 20, Republican Tom Kovach faced Democrat Mike Migliore to fill the seat of Diana McWilliams (D), who resigned her seat after the election to take a job in New Mexico. Kovach received 1,540, or 51.2 percent, of votes cast Saturday. Migliore received 1,467, or 48.8 percent.
Representative-elect Kovach is a partner with the law firm of Parkowski, Guerke and Swayze. Mr. Migliore is an attorney with the firm of Stradley Ronon and a House Democratic Caucus attorney when the legislature is in session.
The Republican win denies the Democrats a veto-proof 3/5 majority in the House. A 3/5 majority would also have allowed the majority to pass revenue legislation without any minority caucus votes.
