The 2026 election has begun in Broward County as two Republicans filed paperwork for the Florida House 100 seat. Due to term limits, the current holder of that seat, State Representative Chip LaMarca cannot seek re-election. Despite being in “Blue Broward,” the seat is a safe Republican district.

Yoni Anijar, a local attorney and member of the Broward Young Republicans club filed for the seat last month.

On the same day, former Lauderdale-By-The-Sea Mayor Chris Vincent filed to replace LaMarca in Tallahassee. Vincent, a building contractor, lists Lauderdale-By-The Sea Commissioner Richard Lee DeNapoli as his campaign treasurer.

DeNapoli is the Broward Republican Party State Committeeman.

Insiders tell REDBROWARD that many hopefuls will join Anijar and Vincent in the Florida House 100 race.
