District 17: Steve Fisher and Elly Shaw-Belblidia.

Think again if you think that Central Committee doesn't matter. According to the Gazette, 30 of the 141 current delegates and 11 of the 47 sitting senators were originally selected by the central committee when their predecessor stepped down between the regularly scheduled quadrennial elections for the General Assembly.
