A brother and sister in Florida are having a little more than your typical sibling rivalry this campaign season. In fact, they’re dueling it out in the state’s senate race in a rivalry of epic proportions. On Tuesday, Randolph Bracy and LaVon Bracy Davis’ names both showed up on Florida’s Senate District 15 special election ballot. Sen. Geraldine Thompson’s seat is open since the longtime lawmaker passed away earlier this year, and the Bracy siblings are playing musical chairs trying to get it. Although they are both Democrats with extensive experience as state legislators, their mother has only given her blessing to one child: her daughter, LaVon. Even though Randolph announced his campaign first, their mother has rallied behind her daughter and is even serving as LaVon’s campaign manager. When LaVon announced her bid for office after Randolph, he brother told the

that the move was “disappointing and hurtful.” The bad blood isn’t recent, either. During the 2024 state Senate race, LaVon endorsed the now late former Sen. Thompson over her brother, as did the siblings’ mother. The matriarch’s choice wasn’t a surprise: she was a close friend of Thompson and even served as her maid of honor. But while her daughter plans to carry on the deceased senator’s legacy, Randolph is running a very different platform and challenging Thompson—and his sister’s—policy approach. May the best Bracy win.
