Meanwhile this week, Republican Rick Roth filed paperwork to run for the House District 85 seat being vacated by Rep. Patrick Rooney, R-West Palm Beach.
Roth had earlier planned to run in Congressional District 18 but switched to the Palm Beach County state House race after Rooney decided not to run for re-election.
Others in the race are Republican Andrew Watt and Democrats Jay Rideout and Robert Simeone, according to the Division of Elections website.
