A couple problems, Ge. Pruitt is a Republican. 2nd, there is no incumbent running for reelection. There are term limits, and the incumbent, Hugh Gibson, cannot run again. As far as I know, there are two people seeking the GOP nomination for the seat, Pruitt and Marlene O'Toole. Don't know if there is Democrat opposition.
