Republican David Jolly Defeats Alex Sink In Florida Special Election

Republican David Jolly Defeats Alex Sink In Florida Special Election
Republican David Jolly has won the congressional race to replace the late Republican Rep. Bill Young. With all precincts reporting, Jolly claimed 48.4% of the vote. Alex Sink got 46.5%, and Libertarian candidate Lucas Overby took 4.8%.
The race was widely watched, and seen as an early test of how President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul will play in November’s midterm elections. It attracted national attention and millions of dollars. Local issues took a backseat to the health care law as both national parties and outside groups flooded the swing-voting district with ads, phone calls and mailings about “Obamacare.”
