Freeman Steps Down to Run for State House

City Council member Terrance Freeman is stepping down in November to run for Florida House District 12, triggering a special election on August 18th for his At-Large Group 1 seat. With a June 11–12 deadline to qualify — either by gathering 1,855 signatures or paying a filing fee — Freeman, who’s unopposed in his House race, leaves behind a legacy of boosting public safety and workforce training programs, including one he launched in 2023. He’ll officially vacate his council post on November 2nd, having served two terms and even taking a medical leave in 2024 for prostate cancer treatment. If no candidate wins outright in August, a runoff will decide the seat on November 3rd. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
