Fl Senate District 11 special election

TAMPA, Fla. — Republican candidates Anthony V. Brice and Ralph Massullo Jr. face off in Tuesday’s primary election for Florida Senate District 11.

The special election was called after state CFO Blaise Ingoglia was appointed to that position by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Democrat Ash Marwah is the only contender on his side of the aisle, so the Democratic primary election was cancelled, leaving Brice and Massullo as the only candidates on the ballot.

The general election will take place on December 9. The deadline to register for that election is November 10, and the deadline to request a vote-by-mail ballot is November 27.

The district was changed by state officials, with the new lines on the Florida Gulf Coast taking effect for the 2022 election. In that election, Ingoglia dominated over Green Party challenger Brian More, earning 75% of the vote, compared to Moore’s 25%

His lead shrank slightly in the 2024 election. He earned 69% of the vote compared to Democratic challenger Marilyn Holleran’s 30.7% return.

Massullo most recently served in the Florida House, representing District 34. He first took office after he won the 2016 election. He advanced through the primary and was the only candidate on the ballot.

He was not able to re-file for election in 2024 due to term limits.

Massullo came out of the gate this election with a substantial lead in fundraising. As of the end of September, he’s raised $189,925, of which he has spent $81,311.50. In comparison, Brice has taken in $2,100 in that same timeframe, with $1,781.82 in expenditures.

Brice served in the military, where he served in three different roles. He then medically retired, and went on to work in the family insurance agency.
