Hetrick, Christian. "Can Sheila Oliver Run for Assembly and LG at Same Time? Yes, Democrats say, but it's uncharted legal territory.", The New York Observer, August 2, 2017. Accessed January 3, 2018 ."If Murphy and Oliver win in November, she would have to vacate the Assembly seat and leave it to the Democratic committees in Essex and Passaic counties to choose a replacement. That person would fill the seat until a special election in 2018, Parikh said. By running Oliver for both offices, Democrats are ensuring they can hand-pick her replacement after the election and avoiding the expenses and the process of recruiting a new candidate in advance of the November election."
