Joe Sempolinski to Be Sworn In September 13 as 23rd Congressional District Representative

September 13, 2022 By WRFA Radio Leave a Comment

Congressman-Elect Joe Sempolinski will be sworn into office tonight.

The Republican won a special election against Democrat Max Della Pia to fill the seat vacated by former Representative Tom Reed, who left office in May to take another job.

The swearing in will take place on the floor of the House of Representatives.

Sempolinski will be joined by Democrat Pat Ryan, who is being sworn in to represent New York’s 19th Congressional District. Alaska Representative-elect and Democrat Mary Peltola also will be sworn in after defeating Sarah Palin in a special election there to fill the state’s lone seat in the House of Representatives.

A New York State law passed in 2019 demanded special elections for the two districts, even as redistricting has changed the boundaries for the upcoming November elections.

Sempolinski said in his campaign that he was running only to fill the remainder of the outgoing 23rd District. The new 23rd District will be a contest between state Republican Party Chair Nick Langworthy and Democrat Max Della Pia.
