Not announcing-just exploring how much work it might be, and whether the workload/risk/reward is worth it. My only intent would be to represent and communicate, not reinvent or radicalize any 'wheels' in motion for years. Thoughts?

The short answer is a simple majority of the votes cast in your District if the seat is contested. There is much more to it however. Florida election laws require a qualification period for every publicly elected office (which has already passed for the 2024 election). The best way to get the information you desire is to make an appointment with the Supervisor of Elections Office and they will explain in great detail what is required and provide you with previous election results.
Sumter County Supervisor of Elections Serving on a CDD Board is a great way to give back to your community and learn how The Villages really works. Best of Luck.
