James Grant Returns to the Florida House

A familiar face returned to the Florida House on Wednesday morning as Tampa Republican James Grant was scheduled to be sworn in. Grant easily won a special election on Tuesday and is now back in the House.

After a short time away, the House of Representatives welcomes Rep. Grant back to the Florida House, said Florida House Speaker Steve Crisafulli, R-Merritt Island. With Rep.Grants return, our Republican majority is complete with 81 members.

Grant was first elected to the Florida House in 2010 and easily kept his seat in 2012 and 2014. After disputes over a write-in candidate and a Republican primary opponent in 2014, the Florida House overturned the results of Novembers election and set the stage for Tuesdays special election.
