\n A committee is expected to meet Monday to decide on a Democratic nominee for the seat held by Rep. John Lewis, who died last Friday, after 131 people rushed to make Sunday\u2019s deadline to app<\/a>ly, according to a report.<\/p>\n

The committee includes Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and former Georgia governor candidate Stacey Abrams, among others, CNN reported.<\/p>\n

The death of Lewis, 80, of pancreatic cancer on Friday, left Georgia Democrats without a candidate in the 5th Congressional District race this November.<\/p>\n

The Democratic candidate will face off against Republican Angela Stanton-King.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re still grieving,\u201d Fulton County Democratic Committee Chair LeWanna Heard-Tucker told CNN Sunday. \u201cThis is the process unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n

Applications to run in Lewis\u2019 seat had until 6:30 p.m. Sunday to apply.<\/p>\n

The committee will pare down the applicants to as many as five prospects and recommend them to the state executive committee.<\/p>\n

The Democratic Party, under Georgia law, must notify the Georgia secretary of state\u2019s office by Monday whether they intend to appoint a replacement and then inform the office later who that person is.<\/p>\n

Lewis, first elected to Congress in 1986, defeated challenger Barrington Martin II with 87 percent of the vote in June.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
