RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said Tuesday that he had not yet decided when to call a special election to fill the vacancy left by Rep. A. Donald McEachin, whose death Monday night came as a surprise despite the Virginia Democrat’s long struggle with cancer and the aftereffects of cancer treatment. New & Used Cars Near You Ad Cars.com New & Used Cars Near You McEachin, who was 61, had represented Virginia’s 4th District, which stretches from Richmond to the North Carolina line, since 2017. Before that, he had served nine years as a state senator and eight as a delegate. On Tuesday, a spokesman for McEachin said the exact cause of death was still unclear but referred back to a statement the office released late Monday noting McEachin’s battle with “secondary effects of his colorectal cancer from 2013.” The spokesman, Shahid Ahmed, described the congressman’s death as very sudden and unexpected. Under state law, the governor calls a special election to fill the vacancy when a member of the House of Representative dies or resigns. The law does not specify how soon the governor must act. Youngkin did not provide a timeline for when the decision would be made, noting he would consult with others about selecting a date.
