Democrats to flip a repub's Florida Congressional District

Post by Number6 »

The incumbent republican member of Congress failed to file her campaign finance disclosure paperwork in time for the deadline. As a result, she will not be on the ballot but two Democrats will be guaranteeing the district will flip from Red to Blue.

Of course, I wouldn't put it past Florida to amend the filing deadline to let her run but as of now, this is good news.
Florida Democrats got a surprise bit of good news on Friday: they're running unopposed in a heavily Hispanic, Orlando-area state House district currently held by the GOP — because the incumbent Republican failed to file her paperwork properly.

According to Gabrielle Russon of Florida Politics, "Rep. Paula Stark failed to qualify for re-election in House District 47, so Democrats will win back a blue seat they have long sought out."

Stark, a two-term Republican elected in the 2022 GOP wave election and one of the very few Republicans in the legislature to oppose a ban on government-funded diversity parades, did not file her campaign finance disclosure in time for the deadline, meaning that her candidacy was ruled ineligible.
