After Democrats fell 417 votes shy in 2018, Maureen Porras looks to claim the HD 105 seat
In a 2018 cycle which saw multiple recounts and tight races across the state, the House District 105 results may have been forgotten by some.
The contest didn’t quite fall into recount territory, but was razor-thin nonetheless. Republican candidate Ana Maria Rodriguez took the open seat over Democrat Javier Estevez by just 417 votes. Now, with Rodriguez departing for a Senate bid, the seat is open once again. And Democrats are looking to come out on top this time around.
Immigration lawyer Maureen Porras secured the Democratic nomination in August, pitting her against Republican David Borrero, a Sweetwater City Commissioner.
Porras seems confident she can take the seat in what should be another close race.
“The demographics are definitely shifting to this being a Democratic seat,” Porras said in an interview with Florida Politics.
