Republicans have set Nov. 29 as the date for a canvass to select the party’s nominee for a special election to fill the state legislature seat vacated by former Del. Terrie L. Suit, R-Virginia Beach.
At present, four men are seeking the GOP nod – real estate professional Jeff Dente, former Oceana Naval Air Station commanding officer Tom Keeley, Virginia Beach Planning Commissioner Barry D. Knight, and Beach Sheriff Paul Lanteigne.
Democrats, meanwhile, have approached several potential candidates but haven’t gotten any takers.
The special election for the vacant seat, which Suit left in October to take a lobbying job, is scheduled for Jan. 6, about one week before the 2009 General Assembly session is to commence.
