Gov. Tom Wolf (D) announced a day after Marino officially left Congress that the special election to replace Marino would be held on May 21.

Keller was chosen as his party’s nominee for the race in a convention in March.

Marino won reelection last year by 32 points against Friedenberg in the newly drawn 12th District after Pennsylvania redrew its congressional districts.

The 12th District covers much of the old 10th District, which Republicans had held since 2011 before the congressional map was redrawn.
