Qualifying opens for State, U.S. House contests
Formal qualifying opened at noon Monday for those running in Florida for governor, the three Cabinet offices, all 120 state House seats and 21 state Senate seats.
TALLAHASSEE --- Ronnie Murchinson-Rivera drove from Sorrento in Lake County to be among the first in line Monday as the qualifying sprint kicked off for U.S. House and state legislative offices.
A Democrat running for the Congressional District 6 held by Republican U.S. Rep. Randy Fine, Murchinson-Rivera wanted to ensure his paperwork was correct so he wouldn’t have to make a second drive to the state’s Division of Elections Office in the R.A. Gray Building one block from the Capitol.
