The day after he died, Edwards won a new term in the legislature’s 53rd District, so his appointed successor will not only finish out the rest of the current term but also the new 2-year term. The only requirements for applicants are that they’re at least 21, live in District 53, and are Republicans. The local GOP precinct committee is meeting today to select 3 finalists whose names will be sent to the Campbell County Commissioners, who will make the final choice.
