Donald Payne has died, aged 65.

He was known as one of the nicest Members of Congress.

He represented the same district as his father, the first AA Congressman in NJ’s history, centered on Newark, with a part extending to Jersey City.

The Governor can call a special election to fill out the term, but this is not required, but with the House so evenly divided, there will be calls to have one sooner rather than later.

Essex County Democrats would choose his replacement for the November election.
