With the primary election still 15 months away, the race to succeed Rep. Sam Killebrew in the Florida House of Representatives has already drawn a crowded field. Two more candidates have filed to run for House District 48, creating a race of five Republicans with no Democrats yet in the race. Killebrew, a Republican from Winter Haven, faces term limits next year. District 48 contains eastern Polk County south of Haines City. Jerry Carter of Winter Haven and Amilee Stuckey of Lake Wales both filed to run on Monday.
