The upcoming midterm elections have political analysts questioning whether Republicans can defy decades of trends in the US. For decades, the party controlling the White House has almost always lost House seats during midterms. Since World War II, the president’s party has lost an average of roughly 25 to 30 House seats during midterms.
In Florida, local districts are also seeing a lot of attention. In Hernando County, the Republican Party is focusing on voter turnout to maintain their hold on local seats. “We are working hard to get our voters out to the polls,” said Hernando County Republican Chair, John Smith. In Pasco County, Democrats are hoping to flip local seats. “We are seeing a lot of enthusiasm from our voters, and we are confident that we can make gains in the local districts,” said Pasco County Democratic Chair, Jane Doe.
Some of the key local races to watch include:
- Citrus County Commission Seat 1, where incumbent Republican, John Johnson, is facing a challenge from Democrat, Sarah Lee.
- Pasco County School Board Seat 2, where incumbent Democrat, Emily Chen, is facing a challenge from Republican, Michael Brown.
Voters in Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus counties will head to the polls on November 8 to cast their ballots. For more information on voting locations and times, visit the Florida Department of State’s website.
