Democrat Elizabeth Holmes won Florida House District 94 over Republican state Rep. Meg Weinberger, with unofficial results showing 50.34% for Holmes and 47.98% for Weinberger. Two Republicans were ousted in Palm Beach County, including Weinberger.
Why it matters
Holmes campaigned on rising costs for housing, insurance, groceries, and health care, and her win reflects voter attention to those pocketbook issues in Florida. The result also changes the composition of the Palm Beach County delegation in the state House.
Unofficial results show Holmes with 38,361 votes (50.34%) to Weinberger's 36,560 (47.98%) and independent Doug Barrow's 1,280 (1.68%), with all 100 precincts reporting. The figures are preliminary, and the source does not indicate whether certified totals will differ.
The players
Elizabeth Holmes
Democratic candidate and public school teacher who won Florida House District 94 after campaigning on affordability and public education.
Meg Weinberger
First-term Republican state representative for District 94, known as "MAGA Meg" for her support of President Donald Trump, who lost her seat in the race.
The details
Holmes, a public school teacher and mother of four born and raised in Palm Beach County, campaigned on affordability, public education, and local community voice in Tallahassee. Weinberger, known as "MAGA Meg" for her support of President Donald Trump, was first elected to represent the district in 2024.
Timeline
2024: Weinberger is elected to represent District 94.
November 5, 2026: Unofficial results show Holmes defeating Weinberger.
Political Context
Weinberger was first elected to District 94 in 2024, and her defeat two years later reverses that result within a single cycle. The race also followed a separate extortion arrest involving a man who allegedly pressed Weinberger for a public apology and government audits, a dispute she was not the one to bring forward.
For Palm Beach County residents, the result changes who represents them in the state House on issues including housing, insurance, and health care costs. Voters in District 94 now have a new representative for the policy areas Holmes campaigned on.
The takeaway
Local races can shift quickly when voters weigh everyday costs heavily, so watching district-level results offers a clearer picture of changing priorities than statewide totals alone.
