Here's where Sarasota County's races stood as of Tuesday night, Nov. 3, with all 26 precincts reported:
Sarasota County Commission District 4: Republican Jim DeNiro defeated Democrat Julie London 56.26% to roughly 43.7% — a margin of about 5,500 votes. The win keeps the County Commission 100% conservative, a streak that has held since 1965 [yoursun] [heraldtribune-2].
School Board District 1: Heidi Brandt won the runoff-style seat left open by Moms for Liberty co-founder Bridget Ziegler (who did not run again). Brandt, a 46-year-old PTO president at Southside Elementary with a degree in exercise science, becomes the lone conservative on a five-member board that flipped from a 3–2 conservative majority to a 3–2 non-conservative majority after August's election of Democrats and NPAs [wusf].
Other items on the Sarasota ballot: Sarasota City Commission seats, Florida's 16th Congressional District, and a $250 million Environmentally Sensitive Lands and Parkland Program bond referendum [heraldtribune] [heraldtribune-3].
