Martin Mikhail
Martin Mikhail (Republican Party) ran for election to the U.S. Senate to represent Florida. He did not appear on the ballot for the Republican primary on August 28, 2018.
The Senate race in Florida was considered a race to watch by USA Today.[1] Although three-term incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson (D) won re-election in 2012 by a margin of 13 points, his position as the only Democrat elected to statewide office in Florida was seen as evidence of his vulnerability in the state heading into 2018.[2]
