A special election will be held to fill Hastings’ seat.
Congressman Alcee Hastings was my friend. I’m heartbroken to hear this news! He was passionate, emotional, a straight & no chaser type of Member. He loved his constituents & he took time to teach young staffers from the bumps in life he experienced. #RIPAlcee you’ll be missed! https://t.co/zWFA8dJVGE
