2018 Orange County, Florida mayoral election
The 2018 Orange County, Florida, mayoral election took place on August 28, 2018. Incumbent Mayor Teresa Jacobs was term-limited and could not run for a third consecutive term. Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings , a Democrat, ran to succeed Jacobs. He faced two Republican opponents in the nonpartisan primary election: County Commissioner Pete Clarke and business consultant Rob Panepinto. Demings defeated both of them by a wide margin, winning 62 percent of the vote to Clarke's 22 percent and Panepinto's 16 percent, avoiding the need for a runoff election.
