2018
A special election for the position of Florida House of Representatives District 114 was called for May 1, 2018. A special primary election was called for February 20, 2018. The candidate filing deadline was December 28, 2017.[1]
On November 20, 2017, the Florida Democratic Party filed a lawsuit requesting that the dates for special elections in House District 114 and Senate District 31 be moved up so that legislators for those districts could be in place for the 2018 legislative session.[2] The Senate District 31 election was called for April 10, 2018.
The seat became vacant following Daisy Baez's (D) resignation. Her resignation came after she reached a deal with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office to plead guilty to a perjury charge related to her place of residence.
Javier Fernandez ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. Andrew Vargas defeated Jose Pazos in the Republican primary. Liz de las Cuevas ran as an independent candidate. Fernandez defeated Vargas and de las Cuevas in the special election.[3][4]
