Special election to be held for U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski's seat

Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb issued an executive order Tuesday stating that the special election for the seat left vacant when U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski died last week will be held the same day as the Nov. 8 general election. "The candidate elected by the voters will serve for the remainder of the term of office," which ends Jan. 3, 2023, Holcomb said.
The 58-year-old Republican congresswoman was killed in a car crash on Aug. 3 along with two others — both of whom were members of her congressional staff.
Walorski's district director, Zachery Potts, 27, was behind the wheel of the Toyota RAV4 when it crossed into the other lane "for reasons that are unknown at this time," and struck an oncoming car, Elkhart County Sheriff Jeff Siegel said Thursday. Authorities initially placed the responsibility on the other driver, who also died in the collision.

On the eve of the D-Day invasion, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower spent the remaining hours of daylight with the paratroopers who were about to jump behind German lines into occupied France. A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
