Three Tallahassee City Races Head to Runoffs as Florida Primary Delivers 1 Senate Shocker

Summary
Three Tallahassee city contests — City Commission seats 3, 4 and 5 — remained unresolved Tuesday night, sending the races into overtime after no candidate secured an outright primary win.
The local ballot also produced unofficial results in the Leon County School Board District 5 race, two 2nd Judicial Circuit judge contests, the governor's race, U.S. House District 2 and the U.S. Senate.
Florida's Senate result stood out as the night's biggest surprise, adding a statewide jolt to an election already marked by close local finishes in the capital city.
The Tallahassee and Leon County outcomes remain unofficial until certification, capping a primary night that also highlighted broader volatility in Florida races and setbacks for some establishment and Trump-backed candidates.
