Welcome to

For the last 8 weeks, residents in Tampa’s House District 64 have been without representation in the State Capitol. That changed today when Jamie Grant was sworn in  after winning a special election with more than 90 percent of the vote against a write in candidate. At the center of the special election was a court challenge over whether a write in candidate had to live in the district when qualifying. A court ruled they did not, putting last years election, which Grant also won, into doubt. Today the House repealed the residency requirement for write in candidates.
