Congressional vacancies are filled only by special elections as mandated by Article I Section 2 of the US Constitution. Clause 2 states " When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies."
Senatorial Vacancies are filled according to State Law - Mostly Gubernatorial appointment - but sometimes different according to the state.
Amy can not have been appointed to fill the Diaz seat.
