The 7th District, includes most of Seminole County, the main campus of the University of Central Florida in Orange County, and parts of Deltona in Volusia County. Incumbent Republican John Mica, who had represented the district since 1993, ran for re-election. In 2012, when Mica ran for re-election in the redrawn district, he won with 59% of the vote, his smallest margin of victory in twenty years.

Republican primary

edit

Polling taken during the 2013 government shutdown showed that Mica was vulnerable to an opponent, with only 33% of the district's voters indicating that they approved of his performance, while 50% disapproved.[31] The early predictions proved to be unfounded, and Mica's popularity rebounded considerably over the summer of 2014. Mica was a heavy favourite to win the GOP primary, and on August 26, trounced his GOP challengers with over 72% of the vote.[32]

Rothblatt's belief in transhumanism and his family ties were both regularly covered by the media. Jessica Roy, from Time, commented that his status as a member of Terasem might be just as difficult for his campaign as being a Democrat in the Republican majority district.[35][36]

During a campaign event, gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist introduced him by saying, "Gabriel is the messenger that God sent."[37]

Others were critical of Rothblatt's campaign. Katie Prill, from the National Republican Congressional Committee, wrote that "his radical ideas are too extreme for Florida families."[35] Posey's spokesman, George Cecala, stated, "It all comes down to the real issue, and that is Bill Posey is a conservative and Gabriel Rothblatt is a liberal.[35]
