Florida Dem picks up State House seat in special election.
Democrat Amanda Murphy won a special election to the Florida House on Tuesday, claiming the west Pasco seat vacated by popular Republican Mike Fasano who broke with his party's leaders to endorse her.
Unofficial returns showed Murphy capturing 50.8 percent of the vote to defeat Republican Bill Gunter.
"Tonight the big battle starts. I have big shoes to fill and this district expects someone that's going to take care of them," Murphy said from a victory party at the Boulevard Beef & Ale in New Port Richey.
Murphy, 43, is a financial adviser for Raymond James making her first run for office.
