FL-19 irregular primary results: Curt Clawson (Tea) wins

[Statistikhengst]

I say "irregular", because it had to be scheduled because Trey Radel (R) resigned in the cocaine scandal.


In the GOP primary to replace him, Kurt Clawson won:

News from The Associated Press

Clawson, Curt: 38%
Benacquisto, Lizbeth: 26%
Kreegel, Paige: 25%
Dreikorn, Michael: 11%

Margin: Clawson +12%

On the DEM side, there was no primary as April Freeman ran unopposed. Freeman is a former Republican, running as a Democrat in very, very conservative territory.

Florida Special Election Results: Curt Clawson Wins Republican Primary

Huffpo mentions that Clawson financed most all of his campaign all on his own.

He was also heavily backed by the Tea Party.

The special election to fill out Trey Radel's term is on June 24th, in just about 2 months from now.

Prognosis: very, very likely GOP-hold.

He ran his campaign on a "repeal Obamacare" platform and won the primary, but with exceptionally low turnout. However, FL-19 really is Conservative territory. He is likely going to be the next Rep from this district, at least until January 2015.
