Other Florida House Races

Update: I should have includes FL-5 before, where Sheriff Rich Nugent is winning over teabagger Jason Sager.

In FL-12, Edwards and Ross are pulling 70-percent or more in respective primaries.

It looks like Horn is the Dem in FL-16

Klein and West win primaries handily in FL-22.

Garcia and Rivera trounce primary opponents in FL-25.

No surprises tonight. I'm done with this post.

Several other House races could be important in November and have contested races tonight, but the elections are largely formalities. I will formally update these tonight, likely early. Any other races not listed here or in their own post, I simply don't believe will be of any consequence in November. If you disagree, provide your own updates in comments below.

In District 12, expect Lori Edwards for the Democrats and Dennis Ross for the GOP. This is Adam Putnam's seat, and a likely Republican hold, but the Dems can and should make a contest out of it.

I think Republican Rep. Tom Rooney will will get a pass this year in District 16, but we may as well learn which Democrat will challenge since this seat has been so volatile. Jim Horn and Ed Tautiva vie, and quietly pray for an October scandal. Most likely though, this race won't be on our radar two months from now.

House District 22 incumbent Ron Klein will keep the party nomination. Republican Allen West will challenge. Maybe this race is cooling down, but I expect a slog, if only because the online right loves West so much.

House District 25 nominees will be Democrat Joe Garcia and Republican David Rivera. This should be one of the best battles in the country come November. Tonight, not much to see.
