The seat became vacant following Oliver Robinson's (D) resignation on November 30, 2016. He retired wishing to avoid conflicts of interest resulting from his daughter's appointment as Governor's Liaison to the House of Representatives.[3]
Rolanda Hollis defeated James Howell and Rodney Huntley in the Democratic primary with more than 60 percent of the vote.[4] No Republicans or third party candidates qualified for the election. Because of this, the winner of the Democratic primary election was the winner of the District 58 seat.[5]

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
