FL: Joyce Morgan (D), Jason Fischer (R) to square off in Duval County Property Appraiser runoff
Democrats came close to flipping the Duval County Property Appraiser’s office Tuesday, but it appears the final resolution won’t come until May.
With 180 of 186 precincts in and all of the early vote counted, Democrat Joyce Morgan leads with 48% support, far ahead of Republicans Jason Fischer (30%) and Danny Becton (22%).
But Morgan, despite winning in early voting, vote by mail, and on Election Day, fell short of the 50% needed to win, setting the stage for a final battle with Fischer in the General Election May 16.
Polling of the race from St. Pete Polls and the University of North Florida Public Opinion Research Lab showed Morgan with the momentum. She polled in the mid-40s in both surveys, more than 20 points ahead of her opponents.
Morgan, a former television reporter, was first elected to the Jacksonville City Council in 2015 and re-elected four years later. She finished in first place despite a cash disadvantage against Becton and Fischer. Outgoing Property Appraiser Jerry Holland endorsed Becton, while Gov. Ron DeSantis backed Fischer.
