Florida school board flips to Democratic-backed majority amid culture-war fatigue
TL;DR Summary
Two Democrat-backed candidates won Sarasota County School Board seats, flipping the board from conservatives tied to Moms for Liberty; a third Democrat-backed candidate will face a runoff in November. The victories—also echoed by a Democrat win in Orange County—signal voter fatigue with culture-war fights and a desire to focus on funding, mental health, and student needs, even as DeSantis-aligned conservatives remain influential in Florida politics.
