Incumbents hold the edge in most, but not all, of the battleground seats.

Florida Politics last week identified the 10 most likely state House races that could flip from one party control to the other this cycle. In each race, fundraising and spending continues as the Nov. 5 General Election draws near. Democrats must net five seats to break a Republican super-majority in the Florida House
