Democrats LaVon Bracy Davis and RaShon Young Win Orange County Special Elections by Wide Margins

The results complete a leadership handoff rooted in Geraldine Thompson’s legacy.

Overview

  • LaVon Bracy Davis captured about 73% to claim Florida Senate District 15, defeating Republican Willie Montague.
  • RaShon Young won Florida House District 40 with roughly 75%, defeating Republican Tuan Le and write-in candidate Christopher Hall.
  • The vacancies stemmed from Sen. Geraldine Thompson’s death earlier this year and Bracy Davis’s resignation from the House to run for the Senate.
  • Young, formerly Bracy Davis’s chief of staff, said he is the first Gen Z Democrat in the Florida Legislature and highlighted plans for education and healthcare priorities.
  • Bracy Davis pledged to reintroduce a Voters’ Rights Bill developed with Thompson, as Democrats pointed to the lopsided wins and significant fundraising advantages as signs of local strength heading into 2026.
