Democratic union leader Brian Nathan leads over former GOP State House Rep. Josie Tomkow in the race for State Senate District 14 in Tampa. This victory would restore a seat previously held by Republicans in 2022, ending a seven-month period where the district's nearly 300,000 residents had no representation in Tallahassee. Nathan overcame a voter registration deficit of about 23,000 and a significant fundraising disadvantage, raising over $100,000. His campaign was supported by labor unions and Tampa City Council members. The winner of the recount will go on to represent the district in April.
