Elections 2014

Elections are upon us again. The gubernatorial election is getting the most press in Florida but we don’t expect to cover statewide races on West Boca News. The exception would be if one of the candidates does something here. Instead we will focus on local races.
Party primaries and some other elections are scheduled for August 26th. The general election is November 4th.
Races brewing in West Boca News include:
County Commission District 4 (parts of West Boca east of the Turnpike) pits incumbent Republican Steven Abrams against Democrat Andrew O’Brien.

There are two contested judge races. Both are in Circuit Court, groups 14 and 30. These are county-wide races and as such they cover West Boca.
Congressional districts 21 (west of the Turnpike) and 22 (east of the Turnpike). Both races have multiple candidates filed.

State Senate district 34 (east of the Turnpike) – the seat is currently held by Maria Sachs. Jonathan Jamal Marc has filed to run for the seat but we see no campaign activity so there’s a strong chance this is the last time we’ll mention the race.
State House districts 81 (west of Turnpike) and 91 (east of Turnpike). Two Democrats have filed and no Republican, so any coverage will likely be limited to a primary. In 91 only the incumbent Slosberg has filed.
We met with a judge candidate this morning and will be writing an article about that shortly. One other judge candidate has reached out to us and we expect to meet within a couple weeks and write about that one too.
