The media is starting to call it for Deegan. The biggest Republican-led city in the country is picked up by the Democrats.
Wow, Deegan really outperforming the voter reg - was expecting a loss after seeing those earlier. Exciting! FL Dems aren't completely dead after all!
I've made the point earlier in the thread; Deegan had quite a few advantages that were absolutely necessary to overcome the superior GOP election organization. This election is not a good sign for the Florida Democrats; Deegan didn't win because of their support, she overcame them dragging her down.
Yeah, this isn’t necessarily a positive sign for Florida Democrats writ large. It’s just the Donna Deegan was a much better candidate than Davis.
Also, Jacksonville is now well to the left of the state as a whole. Not really good to extrapolate.
Exactly. The GOP will end up controlling all 5 at large city council seats and the vast majority f the overall city council. This loss is almost entirely on the candidate strength difference between Deegan and Davis.
