Florida's 19th congressional district special election, 2014
The 2014 special election for Florida's 19th congressional district was held on June 24, 2014, following party primary elections which were held on April 22. The election will fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Trey Radel from the United States House of Representatives. Radel resigned on January 27, 2014, two months after he was arrested for possession of cocaine. With 100% of the precincts reporting, Curt Clawson has been elected as the new U.S. Representative.
==Background==
On October 29, 2013, Radel was arrested in the District of Columbia for purchasing of cocaine from an undercover officer.〔 He did not inform House Republicans about the arrest. Less than a month later, Radel pled guilty to a misdemeanor count of possession of cocaine and was sentenced to one year of supervised probation. The charge "would have been a felony had it happened in his home state," according to Terry Miller, the Republican chairman in Lee County, Florida.
Radel announced that he would be taking a leave of absence from Congress to undergo addiction rehabilitation and that he would be donating his salary to charity during his absence. Following his announcement, the Republican Party of Florida and Governor Rick Scott called on Radel to "resign immediately" and "focus his attention on rehabilitation and his family".〔 Radel returned to Congress in January 2014, vowing to continue to serve. The House Ethics Committee began an investigation. On January 27, he decided to announce his resignation, effective that evening.〔 Scott set April 22 as the date for the primary election, and June 24 for the general election.
