For Some Legislators Election Day Came Early

Americans recognize the second Tuesday in November as Election Day, but some campaigns start packing up the cardboard boxes the day after the primary. That’s the beauty when you’re the only one on the ballot in November.

Tallahassee will see some familiar faces in the capitol during the next legislative session as 15 senators and 41 representatives have no challenger after their primary. Some will be freshmen, like newly elected Senator George Gainer, and some will be seasoned veterans, like incoming House Speaker Richard Corcoran.

In Florida politics, it doesn’t matter when you win, it just matters that you win.
