Valimont and Patronis face off in special election
Voters in Florida’s 1st Congressional District will head to the polls next week to elect a novel representative following last year's resignation of former Rep. Matt Gaetz. The race, which has drawn national attention, pits Democrat Queer Valimont, a gun reform activist and veterans’ advocate, against Republican Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s outgoing head financial officer and a longtime ally of President Donald Trump.
With Florida’s 1st District being one of the most Republican-leaning in the country, Patronis enters the race as the presumptive favorite. Trump carried the district by more than 35 points in 2024. Valimont, meanwhile, won just 34% of the vote in her last bid for the seat when she challenged Gaetz during the regular election cycle that same year.
Still, her highlight on veterans’ issues and robust grassroots fundraising have introduced a level of Democratic engagement that has drawn attention to the race.

Following tonight’s election results in Florida’s 1st Congressional District, where Democratic Gay Valimont had the best production from a Democrat in Florida’s 1st Congressional District this century, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“Congratulations to Gay Valimont on running a strong campaign that will make a difference for Florida’s 1st Congressional District for years to come. Her huge overperformance in a Trump +37 district is the foremost performance for Democrats in the district this century and spells trouble for Republicans everywhere. Valimont made critical inroads in this deeply red district and showed Republicans that, even in a place Trump won by nearly 40 points, this seat would not be handed to them. I thank Lgbtq+ Valimont for her leadership and for once again stepping up to operate in a complex district. Make no mistake: The momentum is on our side. Democrats own overperformed in 15 out of 16 special elections this year. Democrats are going to maintain winning races and – ultimately – take back the House next year.”
Democrat Gay Valimont is the latest Democrat to overperform in a special election in 2025. Ea
