A special election for the position of Connecticut House of Representatives District 7 was called for April 25, 2017.[2]
The seat became vacant following Douglas McCrory's (D) election to the Connecticut State Senate on February 28, 2017.
Candidates who successfully filed for this race included Democrat Rickey Pinckney Sr., Working Families Party candidate Joshua Malik Hall, and petitioning candidate Kenneth P. Green. All three candidates sought the Democratic nomination for the seat at the Hartford Democratic Party's nominating convention on March 19, 2017. Pinckney received nine votes at the convention, while Green—a former Democratic member of the Connecticut House—received three votes and Hall received one vote.[3] The Working Families Party of Connecticut endorsed Hall on March 22, 2017.[4] No Republicans filed for the race.
