No. 6: Tampa Bay’s red wave

by The 100 Companies

County congressional district a Hillsborough County state Senate District and both the Pinellas and Hillsborough County Commissions.

The most shocking of the flips was what turned out to be a red tsunami on the Hillsborough County Commission. Two Democratic incumbents — Mariella Smith and Kimberly Overman — were unseated by Republicans, handing the GOP a 4-3 majority on the board.

Also in Hillsborough, former Sen. Janet Cruz, a Democrat, lost her seat to DeSantis-backed Republican Jay Collins.

Democrat Pat Gerard lost her seat on the Pinellas County Commission to Republican Brian Scott.

Democrats also suffered a blow in Florida’s 13th Congressional District.
