Jeremy Rogers

Cox won 52 to 48

News breaks at the end of the campaign that candidate Jeremy Rogers is suing the city of Tallahassee

Florida Democrats are hyped up over Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential run. State Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried wants to use that enthusiasm to spur her party to the polls and drive Democratic voter registration and turnout in the hopes of influencing down-ballot races, including those for local school boards.

Despite their claims that politics has no place in schools, the race between Leon County Seat 4 incumbent Laurie Lawson Cox and challenger Jeremy Rogers has been consumed by partisanship.

Union president: "The union's choices are based on the candidates’ support of traditional public schools."

The Leon County district and the incumbent are pushing back, saying the changes at issue have made elementary school security stronger.

Candidate forums are being hosted by WFSU, the Tallahassee Democrat, and the League of Women Voters of Tallahassee.
