Florida Republicans won the governor’s race and other top statewide offices including U.S. Senate, attorney general, chief financial officer, and agricultural commissioner in Tuesday’s general election, though some contests were described as close. Locally, Alachua County voters also weighed in on district and county races, with Democrat Amanda Trask unseating Republican incumbent Chad Johnson in Florida House District 22, and Democratic incumbent Ken Cornell winning his Alachua County race.
