Florida has 29 poor, largely rural counties classified as "fiscally constrained."
These counties will likely need a bailout from the rest of the state as a result of Amendment 3, which will decimate their already-thin tax bases.
Amendment 3 passed in all but one of them.

HD 70 would have been the 61st seat in the 120-member chamber.

The Florida House of Representatives came shockingly close to flipping last night.
Democrats netted 16 seats. I believe that leaves the GOP with a 70-50 majority.
But there were also another 5 seats where the Republican won 51-49 or less and 5 more where they won 52-48 or less

Congratulations to Gov. Ken Griffin and Lt. Gov. Florida Power & Light
The results in Florida's statewide races are as much a story of money as voter registration.
Florida Republicans outspent Florida Democrats more than 6-to-1.
Byron Donalds alone raised and spent more than $160 million to win the governor's race.View quoted post on X
