HARRISBURG (Nov. 17) – Several individuals on both sides of the aisle say they are either running or considering a run in a special election to fill the seat of state Sen. James Rhoades, R-Schuylkill.

After dying in a car crash in October, Rhoades was posthumously reelected with 63 percent of the vote on Election Day. He defeated Democrat Peter “P.J.” Symons, the Schuylkill County prothonotary, who received 35 percent, and independent candidate Dennis Baylor, who received 2 percent of the vote.
