At least you'll be rid of Stefanik as your rep really soon. It would be great if a Democrat could win that seat, but if not, hopefully a halfway sane Republican will run. It seems that most Republicans in New York are not as crazy as the party as a whole (Stefanik being a really huge exception!). The longer the take to schedule the special election, the better, as that is one less Republican vote in the house for at least several months.

Unfortunately, Colorado's 4th District is pretty much guaranteed to always elect a Republican
