Incumbent state Sen. Travis Hutson won 56% of the vote against a Republican challenger in the August primary for Florida’s Senate District 7, which covers St. Johns, Putnam, Flagler and northern Volusia counties.
While no Democrat is running for this seat, two write-in candidates qualified in the general election, which kept the August primary limited to only Republican voters. Both write-in candidates withdrew from the race after the primary, so while Hutson’s name will appear on the November ballot, he is elected to another term in the Florida Senate.
