House District 60 is one of Republicans’ rare opportunities to further grow their supermajority. The party believes they have the right man for the job in Ed Montanari.
But getting past incumbent Democratic state Rep. Lindsay Cross won’t be easy, and Montanari faces a couple of big obstacles. He’s running against a popular incumbent, and the district favors Democrats.
Montanari is a St. Pete City Council member and retired pilot. Cross is an environmental scientist.
What should voters expect as votes are tallied Tuesday night? In 2024, nothing should be ruled out, but it’s likely the race will be close.
