Two state legislators who represent Coconut Grove in Tallahassee split their vote this week on the governor’s proposed redistricting plan. The Florida Legislature approved the plan on Wednesday by a vote of 21-to-17 in the State Senate and 83-to-28 in the Florida House. The new voting map is expected to help Republicans pick up four additional Congressional seats in November. State Senator Alexis Calatayud (R-38) voted against the plan. Calatayud was one of four Republican senators who voted against the redistricting. Rep. Demi Busatta (R-114), who was profiled this week in the Spotlight, voted for the governor’s plan. The Spotlight reached out to both Calatayud and Busatta for comment, but did not receive a response.
