Democrat Daisy Morales has taken the seat representing Florida House District 48 left open when Amy Mercado decided to run for Orange County Property Appraiser.
Heavily Democrat-leaning District 48 includes parts of Orange County including the Orlando International Airport, Azalea Park and the Sand Lake area.
Morales served as an Orange County Soil & Water Conservation District supervisor since 2014, and won the Democratic nomination with almost 40 percent of the vote in a five-way primary.
She defeated Jesus Martinez (R-Lake Nona) with 65.27 percent of the district, or 47,294 votes.
