Florida House of Representatives
Tomkow defeated Jennifer Spath in a special Republican primary for the vacant 39th House district seat on February 20, 2018.[1] Tomkow then won the May 1, 2018 special election, defeating Democrat Ricky Shirah with 59.9% of the vote.[2] At the time of her election to the House, Tomkow was 22 years old.
Tomkow again defeated Shirah by a similar margin in the November 6, 2018 general election.[3]
Based on a review of 2018 traffic citations, questions have been raised whether Tomkow meets residency requirements to hold her seat.[4]
