Sure.  Dave Brat did it in November 2014 as a result of Eric Cantor's resignation.

I seem to recall there have been a few special elections for Congress that wound up being held on the same day as the regularly scheduled general election for that office, usually due to death of the incumbent shortly before the general. I'd thought it had happened with Wellstone in 2002, but it turns out Ventura appointed someone for the duration (about 2 months). Can anybody else recall a situation where that happened?
