FLORIDA — Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced a plan to fill Matt Gaetz's vacant congressional seat.
According to a press release from the Florida Department of State, primary elections for the District 1 seat will be held on January 28. A special general election will follow on April 1.
“At Governor Ron DeSantis’ direction, this Special Election is being conducted as quickly as statutorily possible,” said Florida Secretary of State Cord Byrd.
ABC said at least six Florida Republicans have already expressed willingness to run for Gaetz's seat.
“We need to listen to the voice of the people, right?”
Last summer, the Florida Department of Environment Protection considered adding amenities like golf courses, pickleball courts, and hotels to state parks across the state. After public outcry, the plans were shelved, but the fight isn't over for some Florida residents.
