FL-HD03: Special Election: Dondre Wise (D) Wants to Be Your Fl-3 State Representative

MILTON — In a district long dominated by Republicans, Democrat Deondre Wise is hoping a message of empathy, equity, and lived experience will resonate with voters heading to the polls for the June 10 special election in Florida’s House District 3 (You can see the map to determine if you’re an elector here).

At 26 years old, Wise is the youngest candidate in the race — and, by his telling, one of the least traditional. A former windmill technician, U.S. Navy veteran, and community organizer, Wise is campaigning on a platform rooted in housing reform, education funding, veteran advocacy and government transparency.

“I’m just a regular Joe,” Wise said. “I walk the neighborhoods, I shop at the local grocery store, and I’ve door-knocked and made calls myself. I’m not out of touch. I live the same struggles as the people I’m asking to represent.”
