The results are in for Tuesday's Florida primary elections, with several races in the greater Tampa Bay area under a brighter spotlight.
Andrew Warren won the Democratic primary for Hillsborough County State Attorney.
As for Legislature seats, many candidates went unopposed, including Republican incumbent Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in House District 13.
In House District 65 in Hillsborough County, Ashley Brundage won the Democratic primary. If she beats incumbent Karen Pittman in November, she will become Florida's first transgender elected official.
Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell of Tampa will face Republican Rico Smith in the general election Nov 5. Smith moved on by topping Lisette Bonano on Tuesday.
On the national level, Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Scott will go head-to-head with Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell in November. Both easily won their primary elections.
Meanwhile, all four "medical freedom" candidates for the Sarasota Memorial Hospital board didn't make the cut.
Turnout statewide was low. Only 22 percent of registered voters participated, according to the Florida Division of Elections. It was only 16 percent in Pasco County and 19 percent in Hillsborough County. However, 32 percent turned out in Sarasota County.
