New Fall River mayor's last day in legislature is Jan. 31

FALL RIVER, Mass. -- Incoming Fall River Mayor Robert Correia says his final day in the legislature will be Jan. 31.

The mayor-elect defeated fellow state representative David Sullivan to succeed Edward Lambert, who left office to take a job at UMass-Dartmouth.

Correia will be sworn in as Fall River mayor on Jan. 7.
He says holding both jobs for about three weeks will give him time to transition from the chairmanship of the Committee on Elder Affairs into the mayor’s office.

A primary election for Correia’s seat will be held on Feb. 5, with the special election on March 4.

The Fall River district will be without a representative for about 60 days.
