Tuesday’s election marks the culmination of Florida’s race for governor. It’s one of the closest, most contentious and most expensive gubernatorial contests in the country this election season. Meanwhile Florida voters also decided the fate of proposed constitutional amendments to legalize medical marijuana, to secure billions of dollars in state funding for water and land conservation initiatives, and to determine who will appoint new state Supreme Court justices in 2019 when the court’s left-of-center majority retires from the bench. Our panel of journalists and political science experts provides insight and analysis into the results of Florida’s midterm election and what they’ll mean for the state’s political climate going forward.
