In Pasco County, residents will decide who will represent two districts in the House of Representives, as well as one seat on the county commission.
In the race for Florida House District 36, which encompasses the western portion of the county, incumbent Amanda Murphy (D) faces Republican Chris Gregg.
In a candidate questionaire, Gregg says the number one issue facing District 36 is jobs.
"Every option on bringing jobs to District 36 is on the table," Gregg said. "We can’t afford to lose jobs to other counties or states."
Gregg wants to bring in more qualified insurance companies and address issues with Duke Energy.
Murphy also wants to address issues with Duke Energy, as well as invest more in the district's education system and fight for affordable home owners insurance rates.
"My priority was and always will be to protect the citizens of Pasco," Murphy said.
In the eastern portion of the county, Republican Danny Burgess is competing against Democrat Beverly Ledbetter for the Florida House District 38 seat.
As a former city councilman and mayor of Zephyrhills, Burgess says he has a history of maintaining fiscal responsibility while promoting responsible economic growth.
If elected, Burgess said his top priorities would be working to create a friendly regulatory environment that promotes economic development and a freer market that is competitive across the country and the globe.
Ledbetter, a former teacher, said she would focus on repealing the Nuclear Recovery Act, expanding Medicaid to include more working families, and investing in education.
Pasco County residents will also vote for a seat on the County Commission for District 2.
In this race, Democrat Erika Remsberg takes on Republican Mike Moore, who won the primary a few months ago.
Both Remsberg and Moore are vying to succeed fellow Republican Pat Mulieri, who's stepping down from the commission after 20 years.
Moore, a small business owner, said in a candidate questionnaire that if elected, he would focus on getting higher paying, secure jobs in Pasco County.
“For too long, many residents of our county have traveled every morning to their job somewhere else, only to make a long commute home in the evening,” Moore said.
Remsberg, a social worker for Pasco County schools, wants to help get secure jobs in the county, support small-business growth, maximize natural resources to support eco-tourism and increase county transit services.
“Work-force development provides opportunity and increased transit offers accessibility," Remsberg said. “We will not be a regional economic partner unless we can provide a steady stream of qualified workers who can get around our county easily.”
