Incumbent Pasco County Commissioner Lisa Yeager secured a decisive victory in Tuesday night’s Republican primary election. She defeated Marine Corps veteran Jonathon Deckard by a margin of nearly two to one, eliminating any serious opposition for the upcoming general election. Governor Ron DeSantis originally appointed Yeager to the commission in May 2024 before she successfully won her subsequent election later that year. In November’s general election, Yeager will face only a write-in candidate named Louie Rodriguez who has not reported raising any campaign funds. The primary results effectively closed the race to registered Republicans alone, with no other candidates filing for the position.
Key Points:
- Lisa Yeager defeated Jonathon Deckard by a nearly two-to-one margin in Tuesday’s primary election.
- Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Lisa Yeager to the Pasco County commission in May 2024 before she won her election later that year.
- Louie Rodriguez is the only opponent for Yeager in November, running as a write-in candidate who hasn’t reported raising any campaign funds.
