Election slated to fill Rep. Casello’s House seat
Gov. Ron DeSantis has scheduled a special primary election for Sept. 30 to fill the Florida House of Representatives District 90 seat vacated by the death of State Rep. Joe Casello (D-Boynton Beach).
Delray Beach Vice Mayor Rob Long was the only declared candidate as of late July. Rep. Casello, who could not run for re-election in 2026 due to term limits, had earlier endorsed Long as his 2026 replacement in the heavily Democratic district.
A special general election, if needed, is slated for Dec. 9. The District 90 seat, which includes parts of Delray Beach and Boynton Beach, will be up for election again in November 2026.
