Political newcomer Ryan Elijah has defeated incumbent Rep. Cory Mills in the GOP primary for district 7. Mills has been under an ethics investigation for alleged campaign finance violations and accusaitons he assaulted an ex-girlfriend.

@WPLGLocal10 Mills was endorsed by President Trump earlier this year, but other high-profile republicans like Gov Ron Desantis refused to throw their support behind him. Elijah is a former local newscaster and has sold himself as the best choice to keep the seat in GOP hands in November.
