Ted Yoho Crushes Jake Rush in CD3 Primary

Freshman U.S. Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., won the Republican primary on Tuesday, easily holding off attorney Jake Rush. With almost 14,000 votes in, Yoho had 73.4 percent of the vote. Rush had been agressive, hitting Yoho on a number of fronts, but he never recovered from stories and photos showcasing his role-playing hobby that made national headlines.

Yoho faces Democratic candidate Marihelen Wheeler and term limits activist Howard Wheeler, who is running with no party affiliation, in the general election. This is a solidly Republican district and is not expected to be competitive in November.
