The state chamber that refused to even debate gun control after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, has two seats up for grabs on Tuesday.

Florida residents should vote, but the rest of us should also pay attention. “State representatives make decisions about bread-and-butter issues like education and health care,” Sayu Bhojwani, founder and president of New American Leaders, an organization that works to bring new voices to American government, tells Teen Vogue. “And state laws can also affect access to voting, which is a core democratic right.”

The state legislatures of Massachusetts and South Carolina also have special elections on Tuesday, May 1, but in both cases there is just one candidate running unopposed.

Florida House of Representatives District 114

The race: Javier Fernandez (D) and Andrew Vargas (R) will run for the Florida house after the incumbent, Daisy Baez (D), pled guilty to a misdemeanor perjury charge in November 2017. This Miami-area district, which includes Coral Gables, was formed in 2012, and both people who have been elected to office since then have pled guilty to criminal charges of some sort. The 2016 race for the seat was decided by less than 1,500 votes.

Meet the Democratic candidate: “Throughout my personal life and professional career, I have earned a reputation for honesty and transparency that we have carried into this campaign,” Fernandez, a nonprofit worker and former chief of staff for Miami mayor Manny Diaz, has said. He is also quoted as noting that “on issue after issue — education, climate change, immigration, and so much else — Vargas and Florida Republicans are on the wrong side of history.”

Meet the Republican candidate: Vargas, an insurance attorney, is outspending Fernandez 3 to 1 and has said he is running to “better protect taxpayers' money.”

Florida House of Representatives District 39

The race: Ricky Shirah (D) and Josie Tomkow (R) will run for the Florida House of Representatives after the incumbent, Neil Combee (R), resigned in November 2017 to work with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. This district includes Auburndale, Bartow, and Lakeland.

Meet the Democratic candidate: "There's no sense in owning these assault weapons is the way I feel," Shirah, the owner of a towing company who recently traded in his AR-15, has said. "Now, I am a gun owner. I'm an avid sportsman. I love my guns. You're not going to take them away. But I've never seen a hunter in a tree stand with an assault weapon to kill an animal. I mean, if you're that bad, you don’t need to be hunting."

Meet the Republican candidate: "I'm going to strongly push for keeping our Second Amendment rights where they are,” Tomkow, an anti-abortion supporter of President Trump who has earned the NRA’s endorsement and raised 10 times as much money as her opponent, has said. "I think that's an important thing.”
