GOP's Miller hopes to unseat Democrat Murphy

[TexasTowelie]

U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy pulled off an upset victory over an incumbent congressman in 2016. Now state Rep. Mike Miller looks to do the same to her next year, but he first has to navigate what could be a tough fight for his party’s nomination.

Murphy, D-Winter Park, is among the top Republican targets nationwide. Miller, a Republican from Winter Park, announced last month he was leaving Tallahassee and filing to run for Congress.

Murphy won the formerly Republican-leaning District 7 by 3 percentage points last year over 24-year incumbent GOP U.S. Rep. John Mica. It is one of the few congressional districts listed as “even” in 2018 by the Cook Political Report, which handicaps races.

But before he would face Murphy, Miller might face a primary that could be swayed by Republican-dominated Seminole County, with Seminole-based contenders possibly in the wings.
