About this race

Anthony Bonna (Republican), Amr Metwally (MGTOW Party), Wayne Richter (Democratic) are on the November 3 ballot for Florida House District 85. Not on the November ballot: Tobin Rogers "Toby" Overdorf, the sitting member per the roster. A qualified write-in line also prints in November without the candidate's name, per Hunter Stone's filing on the Florida Division of Elections' certified candidate list. Major-party nominees were chosen at the August 18 primary or advanced unopposed; minor-party and no-party-affiliation candidates qualify directly for the November ballot. The field is the Florida Division of Elections' certified 2026 General Election candidate list. This seat is elected by district; only the district covering your address appears on your ballot.
