. Cherfilus-McCormick, who campaigned on an overwhelmingly progressive platform, will succeed the late Rep. Alcee Hastings , who died in April. Due to the nature of the special election, Cherfilus-McCormick will have to run for the Democratic nomination again in August.
The race between Cherfilus-McCormick and Mariner was marred by some controversy, with Mariner facing questions over whether he was eligible to hold the seat under state laws.
