Candidates emerge for Plasencia, DuBose seats
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (NSF) — With Rep. Rene Plasencia, R-Orlando, and House Minority Co-leader Bobby DuBose, D-Fort Lauderdale, facing term limits next year, two additional candidates have emerged to try to replace them.
Orlando Republican Angelique “Angel” Perry opened a campaign account Wednesday to run in 2022 in what is now House District 50 in Orange and Brevard counties, according to the state Division of Elections website.
Perry joined fellow Orlando Republican Christopher Robert Wright, who opened an account last month to try to replace Plasencia.

Meanwhile, Fort Lauderdale Democrat Roderick Kemp opened an account last week to try to succeed DuBose in what is now Broward County’s House District 94.
Kemp joined Democrats Michael Carn and Elijah Manley, who opened accounts earlier for the race. District boundaries --- and potentially numbers --- will change before the 2022 elections because of the once-a-decade reapportionment process.
