Pennsylvania governor sets special election date for GOP Marino's seat
Source: The Hill
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) on Thursday set May 21 as the day for the special election to replace former Rep. Tom Marino (R), who resigned last week.
"Having heard the concerns of county officials, I am scheduling the special election to fill the remainder of Congressman Marino’s term on May 21, 2019 to coincide with the primary election," Wolf said.
Marino, whose last day was Wednesday, easily won the election in November to serve his 5th term in the heavily Republican district.
Marino is leaving Congress to take a job in the private sector.

This is a wonderful debate.
I remember how it turned out in 1994 and 2008 when Democrats thought they had won power “forever” with D control of Congress and White House.
So they raised taxes.
So they lost Congress 2 years later.
And why hide your carbon/energy/gas tax plans?

Of course up until January, the GOP controlled everything so there was not much to vociferously and publicly rail against except their usual fallbacks of Obama/Pelosi and more recently Schumer!
