A special election has been scheduled for June 9 to fill the seat previously held by Rep. Kathy Javner (R-Chester) who passed away earlier this year after battling cancer.
Rep. Javner represented House District 29, which is located in Penobscot County and is comprised of Chester, East Millinocket, Medway, Millinocket, Mount Chase, Patten, Woodville, and unorganized townships.
The special election for House District 29 will coincide with the 2026 primary election.
Javner was serving her fourth term in the legislature and was a member of the Health and Human Services (HHS) Committee when she passed away.
