FL-16: Rep. Buchanan to Face DeSantis Appointee: Private school superintendent Eddie Speir (R), who Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to a board that oversees the New College, announced that he will challenge veteran Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Sarasota) in next year’s GOP primary. After Rep. Buchanan lost his bid to become House Ways & Means Committee chairman, there were rumors floating that he would resign his seat. Therefore, Mr. Buchanan remains a retirement prospect. The FiveThirtyEight data organization rates FL-16 as R+13, while Dave’s Redistricting App calculates a 55.2R – 42.7D partisan lean.
MD-5: Democratic Challenger for Rep. Hoyer: On the heels of former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Mechanicsville) hinting he will seek re-election to a 23rd term in 2024, he drew a credible Democratic primary challenger. Prince Georges County Environmental Director Andrea Crooms announced her candidacy yesterday, becoming the candidate with the most potential of attracting support. It is highly doubtful, however, that she can unseat Mr. Hoyer who has represented the southern Maryland region since winning a special congressional election in 1981. It is clear the Democratic primary will be the significant election. With a FiveThirtyEight data organization score of D+28, and a Dave’s Redistricting App partisan lean calculation of 60.9D – 36.4R, the GOP has little chance of making a serious run here in the general election.
