Florida's 27th District: Salazar Secures a Fourth Term by Fewer Than 1,100 Votes, Defeating Retired News Anchor Rodriguez
The race in Florida's 27th Congressional District was called on November 10, with Republican Representative María Elvira Salazar securing re-election to a fourth term. She defeated Democratic challenger Eliott Rodriguez, a retired Miami news anchor, by just under 1,100 votes.
It was the final outstanding Florida race in the United States House elections. Earlier analysis had noted that Salazar led by about 1,090 votes while only about 700 ballots were said to remain outstanding, suggesting officials may have been waiting to see whether the margin fell within the 0.5 percent range for an automatic recount.
Salazar's district is centered on the Miami area of Florida. With this call, the results for Florida's full United States House delegation are now determined.
