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.

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.

Both Republicans will now advance to the April 1 special election, where they are expected to be heavy favorites in the solid GOP districts.
