May 3 election set to fill Matsui's seat

January 11, 2005

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Tuesday set a special election for May 3 to choose a successor to Democratic Rep. Robert Matsui, who died Jan. 1.

The announcement triggers an automatic March 8 primary for the Sacramento-area seat that Matsui held for 26 years. If a candidate wins a majority in the primary, the May election will not be necessary. Otherwise, the top vote-getters from each party will square off May 3.
