Race to Succeed Vern Buchanan in CD 16 Is Getting Increasingly Interesting - Seward Independent

Kirschner says an internal poll shows him ahead by 1 point in a district Republicans redrew to favor the party.

  • Democrat Kelly Kirschner released an internal poll last week showing him leading by one point in Florida's 16th Congressional District, despite the district's 13-point Republican lean.
  • Florida Republicans dramatically reconfigured the district earlier this year in Tallahassee, expanding it across six counties including Manatee and Sarasota to secure additional GOP seats.
  • Kirschner assailed Republican leadership, alleging fiscal mismanagement at New College of Florida, where producing a degree now costs $494,715 according to state reports.
  • Republican candidate Sydney Gruters maintains ties to Donald Trump, though some party members are distancing themselves from the president as his poll numbers erode.
  • Voters head to the polls on November 3 as Democrats report surprising strength in GOP strongholds amid an unpopular war and rising gas prices affecting CD 16.
