FL-HD96: Parkland Mayor Christine Hunschofsky (D) wins seat after opponent withdraws
Parkland Mayor Christine Hunschofsky is the new Representative-elect in House District 96 after her opponent, write-in candidate Muhammad Amin, withdrew from the contest.
“It’s official! Today I received word from the Division of Elections that my opponent has withdrawn,” Hunschofsky wrote on Twitter late Monday night.
“I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve as your State Representative and cannot wait to be sworn in to continue my service to you and our community.”
The Division of Elections website now lists Hunschofsky as “unopposed” and has removed Amin as an active candidate.
Amin had mounted only a nominal challenge to Hunschofsky. Amin did not appear to be actively raising money while Hunschofsky, who ran as a Democrat, had collected more than $120,000 in total.
Hunschofsky will replace the late Rep. Kristin Jacobs, who passed away in April after a years-long battle with cancer.
