Yeah. He filled the seat and is still holding it to this day. (Although the district looks different now. Hoyer and Spellman’s home base from back then are now in a different district.)

I can't help but feel like that Congress would fuck around for an entire election cycle if this happened today instead of making the seat vacant. Like whichever party would benefit from a comatose congressman would stonewall any resolution on the matter.
