Axios: “Julia Letlow will run in the special election to fill the congressional seat left vacant after her husband, Rep.-elect Luke Letlow (R-La.), passed away in December due to COVID-19 complications. Luke Letlow, 41, was elected in a Dec. 5 runoff to replace outgoing Rep. Ralph Abraham (R-La.), for whom he’d previously worked as chief of staff. Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) has called for a special election on March 20 to fill the seat. ‘My motivation is the passion Luke and I both shared: to better this region that we called home and to leave it a better place for our children and future generations,’ Letlow said in a statement.”
