And then there were 12: Florida's 2nd Congressional District race
The Florida's 2nd Congressional District race has attracted 12 candidates, with nearly $8 million raised ahead of the August primary. The seat is considered crucial as Republicans hold a narrow four-vote majority in the U.S. House.
Twelve candidates are vying for Florida's 2nd Congressional District seat, which includes Tallahassee and Panama City. According to Federal Elections Commission reports, 11 candidates have raised a total of $8,040,448. The eight Republican contenders account for roughly $7 million, with businessman Keith Gross loaning $5 million to his campaign. Democrats have raised about $745,000 combined. The primary election is set for August 18, and candidates have until June 12 to qualify. The seat is open due to incumbent Rep. Neal Dunn's decision not to seek re-election. Dunn's departure comes at a time when Republicans hold a narrow four-vote majority in the U.S. House. The district is mostly rural and includes farms, forests, and the state capital.
