Florida Politics - Campaigns & Elections. Lobbying & Government.

More than 300 candidates are running for the 160 seats in the Florida House and Senate. And, try as we will, FloridaPolitics.com won’t be able to interview them all. So we are asking every candidate, including incumbents, to complete a questionnaire we believe offers an interesting, albeit thumbnail, sketch of who they are and why […]

House District 24 Republican incumbent Paul Renner has some built-in advantages in his re-election bid. For one thing, the Republican serving Flagler County has over $96,000 cash-on-hand. His Democratic challenger, Adam Morley, has almost $2,000 banked. Renner seeks to expand his 48-to-1 cash advantage later this month in what is being billed as a campaign kickoff event […]

A strong case has been made among NE Florida insiders that Paul Renner will be the next House Speaker from NE Florida, and his October fundraising report lends credence to that. $29,825 of October money brings his total raised up to $43,825, with just $1,825 spent. Very little of that money comes from his district, with […]

August fundraising was quiet for HD 24 candidates. Republican Paul Renner raised $1,500 this past month from two donors. The Florida Osteopathic Medical Association PAC ponied up $500, while Florida Blue gave $1,000. This brings Renner to $9,500 total. His opponent, populist Democrat Adam Morley, who is best known for his Tinder outreach, reported no fundraising at […]

Democrat Adam Morley is a longshot in his HD 24 race against incumbent Paul Renner. He has $25 in his campaign account. However, Morley is advertising — on Tinder. Morley set up a Tinder profile, which allows interested parties to contact the candidate by swiping right. We can assume it is a literal swipe right, and not an ideological one. […]

Rep. Travis Hutson prevailed big time Tuesday in his bid to jump up to the Legislature’s upper chamber, defeating Democratic nominee Adam Cox by a margin of about 2-to-1 with nearly all precincts reporting. Hutson will be District 6 senator-elect on Wednesday. Down the ballot, the battle to replace Hutson — who in turn is resigning from the House […]

The long tail of legislative seat-hopping put into motion when former Sen. John Thrasher decided to resign to become Florida State University’s new president will come to an end Tuesday. Special elections are slated to be held in Senate District 6 — Thrasher’s old seat — as well as House Districts 24 and 17, which Reps. Travis Hutson and “Doc” Renuart were enticed […]

As the House District 24 special election on Tuesday approaches, Paul Renner finishes the campaign with a substantial fundraising lead. The Palm Coast Republican added $56,210 from March 1 through April 2, according to the state Division of Elections. Renner raised $294,340 overall, spending $261,748. HD 24 covers Flagler County and sections of St. Johns […]

The long tail of John Thrasher‘s decision to leave the state Senate to assume the presidency of Florida State University will come to an end on April 7, when special elections to fill the legislative vacancies left in his wake are held. Early voting in three statehouse special elections began this weekend and ends Saturday, […]

Republican Paul Renner overpowered the competition to win the special Republican primary for House District 24. Renner received more than 70 percent of the 8,500 votes cast. Coming in second was Ron Sanchez with 17 percent, followed by Danielle Anderson with 12 percent. Tonight’s win is in marked contrast to Renner’s primary bid for House District 15 last […]
