A special election for state senate district 37 has been set for April 2nd 2019. Initial speculation was the election would co-incide with the May primary obviously was wrong. This seat is open because Guy Reschenthaler was elected to the open seat in the new PA CD 18 (old CD 14) and had to resign from his state office.
This seat is based in SW Allegheny County and Peters Twp in Washington County. It was part of the district that Lamb won when it was the old PA-14. Also Dems flipped the neighboring 38th state senate district in Nov, so a pick up is not impossible.
The candidates will be selected by their respective party committees. There's a rundown embedded in the link here: https://www.post-gazette.com/news/politics-state/2019/01/05/Special-election-April-2-pennsylvania-Senate-seat-left-vacant-Guy-/stories/201901050061
