A sham candidacy fueled with dark money has 11 Florida members of Congress and fair-elections advocates calling for an investigation into state Sen. Jason Brodeur's 2020 election. Brodeur represents Senate District 9, which covers all of Seminole County plus southwest Volusia County, after having won a three-person race in November 2020. But Brodeur's race carries some of the hallmarks of a South Florida Senate race that's led to the arrests of a former state senator, Frank Artiles, and a third-party candidate who told investigators Artiles paid him to run as a spoiler. Brodeur, a Republican, defeated Democrat Patricia Sigman with with 50.3% of the vote, while a no-party affiliation candidate named Jestine Iannotti finished a distant third.
