Florida Special Set




Voters in the St. Petersburg area will be picking a new House member on March 25 to replace Frank Peterson, who resigned to run the state Department of Juvenile Justice.

Peterson is a Democrat, as are the four candidates who have so far launched their campaigns to succeed him. A general election will be held April 15, if anyone from another party bothers to make a go of it.

It won't be a pickup for the Dems but will continue a run of victories we noted the other day. Steve Bousquet of the St. Pete Times offers the details about that here.

About

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
