ORLANDO, Fla. - Voters in four Central Florida counties have chosen the Republican and Democratic candidates who will compete in a special election to fill the U.S. House District 6 seat previously held by Mike Waltz.
Waltz, who was reelected in November to represent parts of Flagler, Lake, Marion, and Volusia counties, recently stepped down after being appointed as President Donald Trump’s national security advisor.
In Tuesday’s Republican primary, State Sen. Randy Fine, of Melbourne Beach, secured the nomination, defeating Aaron Baker, a general contractor from Sorrento, and Ehsan Joarder, a business owner from Brooksville.
On the Democratic side, Josh Weil, an educator from Orlando, won the nomination, defeating George A. "Ges" Selmont, a filmmaker from Elkton.
Fine and Weil will now face off in the general election on April 1.
