A busy night occurred around the country and particularly in the Sunshine State, as the political parties chose nominees in key statewide races and for Florida’s 28 newly drawn congressional districts. Thus, the last major primary date is now in the books.
The Florida statewide races were not in particular doubt. While Gov. Ron DeSantis and Sen. Marco Rubio were unopposed in their respective Republican primaries, Congressman and former Governor Charlie Crist (D-St. Petersburg) easily defeated Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried, 60-35%, to claim the Democratic gubernatorial nomination. US Rep. Val Demings (D-Orlando), as expected, was an easy 84% winner in the Democratic US Senate primary. The competitive House primary winners were: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R; 70-24% victory margin), Senate President Pro Tempore Aaron Bean (R; 68-26%; created open seat), Cory Mills (R; 34-21%; open Stephanie Murphy seat), Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D; 35-25%; open Val Demings seat), Rep. Dan Webster (R; 51-44%), Anna Paulina Luna (R; 44-34%; open Charlie Crist seat), Laurel Lee (R; 41-28%; new seat from reapportionment), Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D; 66-29%), Jared Moskowitz (D; 61-21%; open Ted Deutch seat), state Sen. Annette Taddeo (D; 68-26%; versus Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar), and ex-state Rep. Robert Asencio (D; 69-31%; versus Rep. Carlos Gimenez). Comments are closed.
