FL-SD31: Lori Berman wins election to keep State Senate seat blue.

[RandySF]

Lantana Democrat Lori Berman easily defeated Republican Tami Donnally in the Tuesday special election to fill the Senate District 31 seat vacated by former Sen. Jeff Clemens last fall.

With nearly 18,000 ballots counted, Berman led Donnally 75 to 25 percent.

erman’s victory has been a foregone conclusion since the early stages of the race.

Shortly after Clemens resigned over the public revelation he’d had an affair with a lobbyist, it looked like Berman would face a serious primary challenge from former Rep. Irv Slosberg.

The Boca Raton Democrat did as much to Clemens in the 2016 race, using nearly $1.9 million of his own money to bolster his insurgent campaign, though he ultimately received less than a third of the vote in in the three-way primary race.
