2026 Elections

The Capitol City Tiger Bay Club hosted a debate Tuesday between Tallahassee City Commission candidates Tom Derzypolski and PJ Perez.

The Capitol Region News Collaborative and the League of Women Voters of Tallahassee hosted a candidate forum featuring Democrat Alison Tant and Republican Tracy Robinson.

The endorsements have been focused on the Tallahassee Mayoral and Commission Seat 3 races

For most of the television era, the political debate had a pretty straightforward purpose: Put candidates next to each other, take away the script, and let voters watch. But with no top-of-ticket debates scheduled to happen in Florida this year, where does the debate stand?

Parks' endorsement gives Derzypolski a prominent supporter with political strength in parts of the city where Derzypolski was less successful during the primary.

The move comes after Parks won 25 percent of the vote in his primary election bid for mayor—finishing after Ausley and Jeremy Matlow.

Tom Derzypolski will face off against PJ Perez for City Commission Seat 3 after a machine recount over the weekend and a manual recount Monday morning.

Florida TaxWatch launched its Property Tax Research Center to help clear up any confusion on the Amendment 3 property tax proposal that voters will decide on Nov. 3.

The outcome of Florida’s U.S. Senate Democratic Primary this week drew national attention. Jacksonville House Representative Angie Nixon won by more than10 points against Alex Vindman, who outspent her in the race 16 to 1.

Residents in the rural areas voted in the primary Tuesday, August 18th.
