#### Special replacement convention

Incumbent Assemblyman Herb Conaway will be resigning in order to take his seat in Congress, after winning his election in the 3rd congressional district in 2024. Under the state constitution, vacancies must be filled within 35 days by the members of the county committee of the political party that the outgoing member was a part of. Burlington County Democratic Chair Matt Riggins originally proposed a "caretaker" proposal, where there would be an interim caretaker who would finish Conaway's term but pledge not to run for the full term in order to not give an "incumbency advantage." Gillespie backed the plan and pledged not to run to fill the remainder of Conaway's term, while Singh saying he would run in the special replacement convention. Outgoing County Commissioner Daniel O'Connell entered the replacement convention while pledging not to run for the full term in the June primary. After the Democratic county committee members voted down the caretaker plan proposed by Riggins, Gillespie entered the replacement convention while O'Connell withdrew. On January 25, Singh defeated Gillespie to fill the vacancy.
