House Seat 96: Rep. Ari Porth, D-Coral Springs, is a heavy favorite to return to Tallahassee. With more than $30,000 on hand at the end of July, Porth, who represents parts of Broward County, did not draw a Republican opponent. TEA Party candidate Jason Weakly, who had slightly more than $2,000 on hand at the end of July, will face Porth in November.
Rick Scott had a microphone and speakers, but Everett Wilkinson, a Bill McCollum plant, had a loud voice and a mission.

House Seat 91: With Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale, running for Senate, three Republicans, a Democrat and a TEA Party candidate are running for this seat in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
House Seat 86: With Rep. Maria Lorts Sachs, D-Delray Beach, running for the Senate, the Democrats will keep this seat representing Palm Beach County as no Republican is running in the race. Lori Berman, a former congressional aide and an attorney, appears to have this seat in the bag. Berman raised almost $109,000 and spent more than $63,000. Her opponent in the primary, Carole Penny Kaye, raised less than $5,000, loaned her campaign $2,000 and spent most of that. Berman is a heavy favorite to win the nomination and thus the seat.
Both the House and the Senate came back from the six-week August break to take care of items that both bodies thought were important enough that they couldn't wait until Congress reconvened Sept. 13.
House Seat 81: Having raised more than $155,000 with just under $125,000 in the bank, Rep. Adam Fetterman, D-Port St. Lucie, is being challenged by Republican former Rep. Gayle Harrell for this seat representing parts of Martin and St. Lucie counties. Harrell is no slouch when it comes to fund-raising, bringing in more than $110,000 in cash andmore than $50,000 through in-kind donations, but she has already spent almost $45,000. Fetterman is the favorite but this should be an interesting and competitive battle.
House Seat 76: Having chased away all would-be challengers for the seat that Rep. Tom Grady, R-Naples, is vacating, Republican Kathleen Passidomo is the only candidate in the race. This seat represents part of Collier County. Passidomo showed impressive fund-raising abilities -- bringing in more than $70,000 in the two months before she cleared the decks.
