“Mr. Speaker and members of the House:
While I support the legislation’s intent and appreciate the need to establish a final date to place replacement nominees on the ballot in the case of death or disqualification, I am concerned setting this deadline without placing a remedy for when a candidate dies within the 55-day period opens unintended consequences.”
