Andrew Gillum and a super PAC that helped flip the Virginia General Assembly to Democrats are teaming up to turn back more than two decades of Republican rule in the Florida House
TALLAHASSEE — .
In the House, the GOP holds a commanding 73-47 advantage. To take the majority, Democrats would need to turn at least 14 seats in 2020 while defending five that they narrowly won two years ago or are considered swing seats. Gillum and Forward Majority say that, despite the numbers, the path to Democratic power is actually easier in the House than the Senate.
Forward Majority spent $2 million in 2018 on Florida legislative races, said Vicky Hausman, the group’s co-founder and co-CEO. Democrats won seven seats, but two incumbents lost, resulting in a net gain of five seats.The group uses opposition research and digital advertising to “fill gaps in campaign infrastructure” and deploy ads that focus on health care, climate change and education.
Rep. Chris Sprowls, the Palm Harbor Republican in line to be House speaker after the 2020 elections, scoffed at the idea that Democrats can retake the House after 23 years.
