2026 election

Jennifer Jenkins, a Democratic who garnered attention for defeating a future cofounder of Moms for Liberty, announces she running to replace Republican Sen. Ashley Moody, who was appointed by the governor.

The FEC sent a letter stating that contributions made to Donalds' congressional campaign after the date of his gubernatorial announcement "must be refunded."

Spring Hill's Blaise Ingoglia, who was appointed Florida's chief financial officer in July and is leading the state's DOGE effort, says he'll be on the 2026 ballot for the job.

At this point, Fentrice Driskell’s Democratic opposition in District 16 is state Rep. Michele Rayner, of St. Petersburg, who announced her bid in December. Republican Amaro Lionheart is also running.
