FL-HD39: Doug Bankson (R) hopes to keep HD 39 red, defend it from a challenge by Marsha Summersill (D)
Rep. Doug Bankson jumped two years ago from an Apopka City Commission seat to the House. After both parties invested heavily in the House District 39 race, the Republican won by double digits as his party overperformed statewide.
Can lawyer Marsha Summersill this November take him out in a district where a bare majority of voters supported Joe Biden in the last Presidential Election?
The incumbent says he is competing down to the wire.
“I’m in sprint mode now going nonstop until Tuesday night,” he said. “We are feeling optimistic but I’m not taking anything for granted and will be running through the finish line.”
Summersill has hit the trail hard as well. Speaking from an early voting location where she was trying to directly reach voters, she hopes to see independent voters swing her way in coming days.
