Democrat Rob Long is the newest member of the Florida House of Representatives, after winning an overwhelming victory Tuesday in a Palm Beach County special election.
Unofficial results Wednesday showed Long with 9,553 votes, or 63.2%. Republican Maria Zack finished far behind with 5,424 votes, or 35.9%.
Long is a loss control engineer, runs a political organizing firm, is a former member of the Palm Beach Soil and Water Conservation District board, and a former president of the Palm Beach County Young Democrats.
When things are bad for the average person, the average person will tend to vote against the incumbent. So it’s not because they’re Republicans, but because they’re in charge when things are going bad.
The populace will swing back to voting Republican when the Dems are back in power. It’s the way of things, since things appear to be going bad for everyone, and this looks like it will be the case for awhile.
