ORLANDO, Fla. — The Republican primary for Florida’s open 11th Congressional District remained too close to call Tuesday night.
Joe Strada led Carey Baker by only 403 votes with 92% of the expected vote reported, according to unofficial results.
Strada had received 27,245 votes, or 34%, while Baker had 26,842 votes, or 33%.
Tim Wilkins was in third place with 25%, followed by Nizam Razack with 6% and Ivette Palomo with 2%.
The reported precinct total did not include outstanding absentee ballots.
On the Democratic side, James Pericola held a commanding lead with 46% of the vote. Royal Webster had 27%, while Dan Williams had 26%, with 98% reporting. That race had also not yet been officially called.
The candidates are seeking to replace retiring Republican Rep. Daniel Webster, who has represented the district since 2017.
The Republican and Democratic nominees will also face Libertarian Ralph Groves in the Nov. 3 general election.
This story will be updated as additional votes are counted and the races are called.
