More than 140 people--young and old--attended the event held at the Winter Park Civic Center.
"The poll was a snapshot of GOP support in a non-partisan race," said Mary Rumberger, a Winter Park political consultant who attended the event. "One of Rick's opponents was thought to be the GOP establishment candidate, but Rick overcame that. It's a huge victory for him."
"I don't want to overstate the importance of any straw poll," Geller said. "The only voting that really counts is on August 26 by the people who live throughout our District, whether they're Democrats, Republicans, or Independents."
The County Commission race is non-partisan. The Orange County Charter prohibits anyone from running for the seat on a party ticket.
