FL-HD94: Former city Mayor (D), Donald Trump-endorsed nonprofit chief (R) clash for open HD 94 seat

A pair of markedly different candidates are competing for an open Florida House seat representing a western, largely agricultural swath of Palm Beach County.

In the blue corner is Democrat Rachelle Litt, who served on the Palm Beach Gardens Council from 2017 to 2023, including as the city’s Mayor and Vice Mayor.

Through Oct. 26, Litt had raised $247,400 and spent $199,000 on her campaign for House District 94.

Her opponent in the red corner, Republican animal sanctuary executive Meg Weinberger, amassed and expended more than thrice that sum: $851,000 raised and $807,000 spent.

Much of that went toward defeating three Republican Primary opponents, whom Weinberger soundly toppled with 48% of the vote.
