Democrat Margaret Good won the Florida House of Representatives District 72 special election on Tuesday, taking a seat that’s long been in GOP control and capping a campaign that attracted national attention and stronger-than-average voter turnout.

Good heads to Tallahassee to take her seat with less than half the 2018 legislative session remaining. She plans to take her seat and join the session Wednesday.

“We won for the people who, like me, have had it with our state government and want to see some change,” Good told supporters Tuesday night at an election night party. “With this win, we’re saying ‘enough has been enough’.”

Good, a Sarasota lawyer and first-time candidate, secured 52.17% of the vote. Republican James Buchanan finished second with 44.8% and Libertarian Alison Foxall finished third with 3%.
