Republican primary election
The Republican primary election was canceled. Jesus Martinez advanced from the Republican primary for Florida House of Representatives District 48.
2014
The August 26, 2014, general election in Orange County featured four seats up for election. Incumbents Joie Cadle and Daryl Flynn each faced a single challenger in their re-election bids for Districts 1 and 2, respectively. Both won re-election, defeating candidates Joshua A. Katz and Phil Stump, respectively. Chadwick Hardee, Regina Hellinger, Linda Kobert and Julio Rocha were running to replace District 3 member Rick Roach, who did not file for re-election. None of them received 50 percent of the votes in the general election, so Linda Kobert and Regina Hellinger, the top two vote-getters, advanced to the runoff election on November 4, 2014. Board chair Bill Sublette did not face a challenger on August 26, 2014, but Gene Vernon Hair qualified as a write-in candidate for the November 4, 2014, election.
