JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- To some surprise, Tuesday night's primary election ended in multiple upsets for once favored incumbents, contributing to the overall reshaping of the entire North Florida political terrain. The most nationally recognized event of the night was Angela Corey’s defeat though.
Melissa Nelson, a candidate once viewed as an underdog in the Fourth Judicial Circuit race, walked away from the Republican primary with 64 percent of the vote, defeating her Republican incumbent, Corey, who earned a mere 26 percent.
What many believed would be a shoe in for her re-election, turned out to be a crushing blow. Florida State Attorney Angela Corey lost the Republican primary Tuesday (August 30) for the fourth circuit judicial state attorney.
