The Associated Press called the race for Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis at 7:08 p.m. as the results came in Tuesday night.

Bay County native Jimmy Patronis has been selected as the Republican nominee for the general election to replace Matt Gaetz. On Tuesday, ten candidates faced off in the race to decide the Republican candidate for Florida’s 1st Congressional District.

Update: Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine swept their respective primaries in congressional special elections. Patronis had 65.6% of the vote in CD 1 with 65% of the vote counted. There was no Democratic primary so Patronis will face Gay Valimont.
