The red tsunami generated by Gov. Ron DeSantis, felt everywhere in Florida, was so big that it produced major Republican gains and ended Democratic dominance in once-blue Palm Beach County. The shift was wide and deep. The state’s most populous county, Miami-Dade, also went Republican red. Of the three big South Florida counties, only Broward remained Democratic, but it’s less blue than it’s been in a generation.
Republicans scored big in Tuesday’s Palm Beach County Commission races, flipping two of the three available seats on what’s been a heavily-Democratic commission.
In November’s election, three of the seven seats on the Board of County Commission are up for grabs with two newcomers facing off and a pair of incumbents seeking re-election.
In Tuesday’s only Palm Beach County Commission primary, Michelle Oyola McGovern defeated a pair of contenders to win the Democratic nomination for District 6.
Races are beginning to heat up for the three Palm Beach County Commission seats up for grabs during this election cycle, with a pair of incumbents seeking re-election and a host of newcomers vying for the lone open seat.
