State Rep. Carl Sciortino is resigning

effective April 4, in order to become executive director for the AIDS Action Committee.

Boston.com news story

I don't know if there will be a special election, or if the seat will just remain vacant for the remainder of 2014. Sciortino represents Somerville wards 4 and 7 and parts of Medford.

ETA: Somerville Journal says there will be no special election. We're just a few weeks away from the filing deadline for the November election.

Well the People didn't vote him into the senate SO SCREW THEM :P

I doubt his vacant seat for such a short period will have any impact and this does happen rather often at the state level.
