Seminole County updates vote count in tight Congress race

The race for Congress in Florida's 7th District remains contested, with Republican Ryan Elijah's campaign signaling confidence he will emerge victorious. The Seminole County Elections Office updated its totals Nov. 4 in the contest between Elijah and Democrat Bale Dalton. The latest count showed the race tightening, but not enough to trigger a recount. The totals from Seminole and Volusia counties have Elijah up by 1,701 votes out of more than 320,000 ballots cast. "While our elections officials complete their important work, we are confident Ryan has secured the votes needed to win," Erin Isaac, a campaign spokeswoman, said in a text to The Daytona Beach News-Journal. "We will continue to watch closely, but there simply aren't enough ballots to change the outcome." Dalton's campaign released a statement taking issue with Isaac's statement. “This race remains too close to call, and it is incumbent on all of us not to pretend otherwise until all ballots are counted. We have not received verified information from either Seminole or Volusia County’s Supervisor of Elections Office on the number of outstanding ballots," Dalton said in the statement. “Every single Central Floridian deserves to have their voice heard," he said.

Dreaming of retirement by the water? These 6 Southern cities stand out

Narrowing down where to live during retirement is no easy feat. Important considerations include affordability, health-care facilities, population size and - according to indicators AARP uses to inform its liveability index - access to the outdoors and nature. And then there’s the toes-in-the- sand factor. These Southern cities and towns stand out for having one trait in common: their coastal lifestyle. Whether it's a laid-back beach town where everyone knows your name or a lively waterfront city where something is always on, this list has an enticing option for everyone who is considering a retirement move. Palm Coast, Florida Ranked no. 9 on U.S. News & World Report's 2026 list of top places to retire, which took into account "happiness of local residents, housing affordability, tax rates and health-care quality," this coastal city of about 115,000 people sits conveniently between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, with about 30 percent of the population aged 65 or older. Opportunities for outdoor recreation are abundant here, including 70 miles of saltwater and freshwater canals, six designated Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trails and the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course at Hammock Beach Resort & Spa .

3,000 Flagler County Residents Lost Food Stamps in Past Year. Food-A-Thon Hopes to Raise $100,000 to Help.

Flagler Radio on Nov. 13 hosts its fifth annual Food-A-Thon with a five-hour broadcast on four local radio stations to raise $100,000 for a local food pantry. It is doing so in a landscape changed for the worse for those who need food assistance most, and at the end of a year when federal food assistance was suspended for weeks due to a government shutdown and state government’s refusal to step in and fill in the gap (though county government did to some extent).

Daytona’s Razzle’s Nightclub Closing After 41 Years

Daytona Beach’s Razzle’s Nightclub is closing for business after over four decades. One of the area’s most locally-known and popular nightlife destinations is in the process of ending its long tenure before becoming a thing of the past. The nightclub was located near the northwestern corner of Seabreeze Boulevard and SR-A1A. Just across from the Seabreeze beach access ramp, the club was a staple of the party culture and spring break activity for years. “For 41 years, Razzle’s has been part of the Daytona Beach story,” said Daytona Beach Mayor Derrick Henry in a Wednesday Facebook post. “Generations of residents and visitors celebrated, danced, and made memories inside its doors. Its closing is a genuine loss, and I sympathize deeply with the owners, the staff, and everyone who called it a second home.” Along with its local fame in Volusia County’s nightclub scene, Razzle’s also found itself as the setting of violent crime on multiple instances in recent years. Four people were injured in a July 2023 shooting at Razzle’s. The City of Daytona Beach responded by increasing security in the area. Mayor Henry pushed back against apparent notions that Daytona Beach’s city leadership played a role in the demise of Razzle’s. He also denied that ‘conditions on the beachside’ played a role. “The larger story is one that families across this country already know. Americans are tightening their belts,” Henry continued. “Rent, groceries, insurance, and gas all cost more than they did a few years ago, and when household budgets get tight, the things young and older people alike enjoy, such as a concert, a weekend trip, or a night out, are often the first to come off the table. Nightlife is changing across Florida and the nation, and clubs and entertainment venues are feeling that pressure everywhere. That is a hard economic reality, and it is not one that city government created.”

David Markle unseats longtime hospital authority board incumbent

The West Volusia Hospital Authority Board will see a new face for the first time in 13 years. Voters chose to elect newcomer and registered nurse David Markle, who criticized some of the board’s recent decisions, to its Group B, Seat 2 position Nov. 3 on Election Day. He beat out four-term incumbent Voloria Manning, who has been on the board since 2013 and was running for her fifth term. Markle beat Manning by about 5,800 votes, or about 7.5%. Almost 80,000 people voted in the race. What is the Hospital Authority Board? The hospital authority, which is an independent special taxing district with five commission members, was created by the Florida Legislature to provide health care access to thousands of low-income and vulnerable residents across West Volusia. That includes cities like DeBary, DeLand, Pierson, Orange City and Deltona. Commissioners are elected to four-year terms and are not paid. ▶ Results from other races: Congressional House and Senate races Registered Nurse David Markle elected to the West Volusia Hospital Authority Board after Amendment 3 concerns Because the board relies on property tax revenue to fund health care access, the West Volusia Hospital Authority Board was at risk of losing millions

Rising St. Johns River the latest threat from historic Central Florida flooding

Volusia County did not experience the rainfall that hit Brevard County and other areas to the south. Because the St. Johns River flows north, however, county officials say much of that water will eventually make its way into Volusia, potentially spilling into roadways and onto private properties. The county is urging anyone living near the river to fill sandbags and stock up on several days’ worth of household supplies. Near Lake Beresford in DeLand — which is connected to the St. Johns River — water has already crept well beyond its normal shoreline onto nearby properties. Volusia County officials say the impact will be felt most toward the end of the week, and they are urging residents to begin making preparations now.

Flagler County’s Old Brick Road Outlasted Its Highway

A modern highway asks you to forget the surface underneath. Flagler County has a road that does the opposite: it makes the pavement the destination. The Old Brick Road, associated with the historic Dixie Highway near Espanola, is narrow, red and deeply out of scale with today’s habit of building several lanes for every movement. The Flagler County Historical Society documents it as part of Florida’s earlier effort to make travel by automobile dependable rather than an argument with sand and mud.
