Annette Taddeo won Taylor County's Democratic primary for Chief Financial Officer, 392 votes to 290.
Taddeo was born in Colombia, built a business in South Florida, and served in the state Senate from 2017 to 2022. She's running on holding insurance companies accountable, opening up the state's books, and protecting consumers.
Here's why that matters here. The CFO doesn't just count the state's money. That office runs the Department of Financial Services, which is where you file a complaint when an insurance company won't pay out. Anybody who has fought over a homeowners policy after a storm knows exactly what that's worth.
She faces Blaise Ingoglia, who was appointed to the office rather than elected to it, on Tuesday, November 3rd.
