Pretty sure it’s State of Florida race.
RIP.....
it’s federal......
The districts current representative, Republican Thomas Rooney, is not seeking re-election. With the exception of Rooney, the district had been held by Democrats since it was created in 1983, although it was re-drawn after the 2010 census.

Waiting to see if a CIA candidate is the replacement before jumping to conclusions.
Clean-up isle 5!
Voted 62% for Trump in 2016. Republican congresscritter Rooney retired.
Wow....I wonder is she crossed Hitlery somehow...maybe an Arkancide??
Whaddayaknow. Sad, I presume.
The Democrats don’t need a live candidate. Democrat Mel Carnahan died in 2000 in the midst of his campaign for the U.S. Senate. He was elected. The Weekend at Bernie’s election.
Someone ought to tell them that those problems were solved years ago and that they are beating a dead horse.
Cause of death? Mama Cass syndrome?.
She graduated from Yale Law School..great just great..Brett Kavanaugh will be blamed for this too/sarc Condolences to her family
Dying before the election kind of indicates a relative unfitness for office....
Probably too late to start a new campaign for anyone else.
Trumps Fault!
What dirt did she have on the clintons?
No comment.
Waiting to see if a CIA candidate is the replacement before jumping to conclusions.
Great point.
