Jacksonville Democrat Leslie Jean-Bart so far is running unopposed in the state House District 14 race, though there have been rumblings regarding how much longer that will last.

Friday we got another chapter in an on-going series about the ouster of Gerald Bailey. The Tampa Bay Times secured a draft of an opinion piece Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam had prepared last month about the abrupt dismissal of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement director.

As widely expected, Reggie Fullwood handily won the Special Election in Florida House District 13, beating Republican standard bearer Lawrence Jefferson by almost 1,100 votes. Fullwood’s margin came largely from Election Day GOTV efforts coupled with early voting — ironically, only 13 votes separated the candidates in the Vote by Mail category.
