Evers Wins Senate Nod; Broxson Wins 4-Way Race For House Nomination
August 25, 2010
Sen. Greg Evers, R-Baker, defeated fellow Republican Mike Hill in Tuesday’s Republican primary for Senate District 2. There is no Democratic candidate, but Evers faces write-in and Tea Party opposition in November.
“I am humbled and honored that the voters in Northwest Florida have selected me to be their Republican candidate for Senate District 2,” said Evers. “I ran for Senate District 2 because I am a proud, conservative, fifth-generation Northwest Floridian, farmer and small-business man; and I ran because I believe together we can make Northwest Florida great, we can work to bring back sanity to our national government, to reclaim a debt-free future for our children and grandchildren, and together we can bring back all that makes America great again. I thank all of my neighbors, friends and supporters in the Panhandle for helping me achieve victory tonight, and I look forward to continuing our fight.
“My campaign during the general election will remain focused on conservative values and making certain that Northwest Florida does not take a backseat to the interests of South and Central Florida in the Legislature,” added Evers. “I believe that the true and tested conservative candidate in this race prevailed tonight, and I am certain that our campaign will prevail again in November.”
Doug Broxson won a four-way Republican primary in the race to replace Rep. Greg Evers in the Panhandle’s House District 1. Broxson defeated Greg Brown, Ricky Perritt and Ferd Saloman. Now, Broxson will face Mathias Venditto, an independent, in the November 2 general election.
Next door in District 2, Clay Ingram won the GOP nomination, and with it likely the seat. Broxson will face NPA candidate Mathias Benditto in November. In District 2, which is being vacated by Pensacola Republican Rep. Dave Murzin, who was term-limited, Ingram defeated David Karasek and will face only write-in opposition in November.
