Vicki Lopez returns to elected office for the first time in decades with HD 113 win

by carlislewillard

Republican political insider Vicki Lopez’s return to campaigning for public office proved fruitful Tuesday, when she flipped the seat representing House District 113 red by defeating a millennial Democrat who led in polling ahead of Election Day.

Lopez defeated Democratic lawyer A.J. D’Amico by a 2-percentage-point margin, with 21,049 votes cast in her favor, to take HD 113.

The district covers a central portion of Miami-Dade County, spanning all of Key Biscayne and parts of Coral Gables and Miami.

It’s the first time since the 1990s Lopez, a consultant and former Lee County Commissioner, has won election to public office.
