State Rep. Matt Gaetz soundly defeated his opponents in the GOP Congressional primary. Last night he released a statement on his victory.
“I want to thank our volunteers, supporters, family and friends for their overwhelming support in this election. I am very proud of the high energy grassroots campaign we ran. Our goal was to find new ways to interact with and listen to voters. We knocked on over 25,000 doors, made more than 40,000 phone calls, and amassed a Facebook audience of 44,000 fans. I cannot thank the voters enough for the trust they have placed in me with tonight’s nomination,†Gaetz said.
The State Senate race was never close. State Rep. Doug Broxson opened with a two-digit lead and held it throughout the night, beating Rep. Mike Hill 56.5%-43.5%. Broxson won all three counties in the district – Escambia, Santa Rosa and Okaloosa counties.
