Michelle Salzman Wins Florida House District 1 Seat
November 4, 2020
Republican Michelle Salzman won the Florida House District 1 Tuesday be defeating Democratic challenger Franscine C. Mathis.
Salzman won with 65.4% (56,957) to 34.6% (30,151) for Mathis.
“My goal is to really show District 1 what a representative can do and make the district proud,” Salzman told NorthEsambia.com, saying she intends to rebuild bridges burned by Hill in Tallahassee. Hill failed to get get a single bill that he sponsored passed.
She said she has already been working with leadership across the state, working with state agencies like the Florida Department of Transportation and local entities like the Escambia County Commision to make sure her priorities are aligned.
“I look forward to serving everyone in District 1,” Salzman said.
In the August primary election, Salzman defeated incumbent Mike Hill with about 52.5% of the vote. In her campaign, Salzman highlighted the fact that Hill failed to get any bill that he sponsored passed.
Hill, a local insurance agent, was first elected during a 2013 special election in House District 2. He ran unsuccessfully for state Senate in 2016. In 2018, he ran for House District 1, defeating Rebecca Bydlak after releasing a video recorded at the Confederate monument in downtown Pensacola claiming that he would bring the Donald Trump Hollywood star to Pensacola. That never happened, and now the monument is being dismantled.
In the August Democratic primary, Mathis won with 68.20% of the vote to Barbara Schott-Shouse’s 31.80%.
