Matt Gaetz Wins Reelection in Florida's 1st District

Don Gaetz has won the race for Florida Senate District 1, defeating Democrat Lisa Newell with 64.85% of the vote, emphasizing his commitment to making Florida more affordable for families and seniors. Meanwhile, his son, Matt Gaetz, secured reelection to the U.S. House, winning his fifth term in Florida's 1st District against Democrat Gay Valimont, maintaining strong support in a heavily conservative area. Despite facing ethics investigations and a primary challenge backed by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz won decisively, highlighting his alignment with Trump and a strong conservative base. His victory comes amid ongoing scrutiny over allegations of misconduct, which he has denied, and a House Ethics Committee investigation persists. Both Gaetzs are now poised to shape Florida's political landscape from their respective positions, focusing on affordability and conservative policies.
