Supervisors of Elections from Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties, where District 3 is located, discuss some of the scheduling conflicts contributing to the state's delay in setting a special election for the open seat.

An open carry billed filed for consideration during the 2025 Legislative Session would allow Floridians to openly carry firearms, and it would repeal a “red-flag” law passed after the 2018 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland that allows authorities to take guns from people found to pose a “significant danger” to themselves or others.

Mariya Calkins and Joel Rudman, the Republican candidates for Florida House District 3 are profiled.
