April Freeman, who won the Democratic nomination for Florida’s 17th congressional district, has died unexpectedly of what appears to be a heart attack, her husband said on Monday. She was 54 years old.

“It’s with great sadness that I feel I must inform all of you that my beloved wife April passed away suddenly last night,” her husband David said in a message posted on her personal Facebook account.

In a brief phone interview with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, David said his wife appeared to have suffered a heart attack. “That’s all I know right now,” he said.

Freeman, a film and television producer, won the Democratic nomination for Florida’s 17th congressional district on August 28 with 77%. She was due to face Republican challenger Greg Steube in the November 6 general election.

Thomas Rooney, a Republican, is not seeking re-election after serving the district since 2013. But with the exception of Rooney, the district had been held by Democrats since its creation in 1983, although it was re-drawn after the 2010 census.
