Within the first 25 days of filing for the seat, Gerwig raised over $80,000, personally contributing $60,000 of that total. [15]

Some of Gerwig's proposals included establishing a Florida insurance bill of rights, the creation of an insurance fraud task force, and making holiday sales taxes permanent. [16]

The race against Waldron came down to a 358-vote margin, close enough to trigger a recount. [17] [18] In the end, Gerwig flipped the seat with 50.19% of the vote. [19]
