Battle for FL-07 Moves to “Toss Up”

Latest analysis puts Republican-held seat squarely in play for Democrats

SANFORD, FL – New analysis from Nate Silver rates Florida’s 7th Congressional District a “Toss Up” and the fourth most competitive House race in the nation, putting the Republican-held seat firmly in play less than one month before Election Day. Navy combat veteran Bale Dalton is running to lower costs and bring accountability and order back to Washington.

“There’s no question we’re running one of the most competitive races in the nation. The energy and momentum are palpable in FL-07, ” said Dalton. “Floridians are getting squeezed by rising costs and a weakening economy, and they want something better than another rubber stamp for an agenda that isn’t working for them. We’re treating this district like the battleground it is. The stakes are too high to let up for a single day before Election Day.”
