MANATEE COUNTY – Incumbent Republicans Tommy Gregory and Mike Beltran cruised to victory in their Florida House races on Tuesday. Fellow Republicans Senator Jim Boyd and Rep. Will Robinson were unopposed.
Gregory defeated Haitian immigrant Roberts Guy Dameus by a 34-point landslide, while Beltran claimed a nearly 40-point victory over former Bradenton mayoral candidate Eleuterio "Junior" Salazar.
Both Dameus and Salazar faced daunting challenges in underfunded, grassroots campaigns against extremely well-funded incumbents in races for red districts.
