- Florida's 8th congressional district election, 2006
ushr|Florida|8|- Incumbent Ric Keller (R) is known in Congress for his Cheeseburger Bill that passed without his vote because of his hospitalization for a cardiac arrhythmia in 2005. Keller has been reelected with little trouble in the past.
Charlie Stuart, a marketing consultant, an Orange County, Florida native and member of a prominent Orlando family, was nominated by the Democratic Party to face Keller. Stuart was touted by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee as a top longshot candidate and received the backing of local figures such as Congressman Allen Boyd, ex-Orlando mayors Glenda Hood and Bill Frederick and present Orlando mayor Buddy Dyer, as well as national ones such as former Virginia Governor Mark Warner.
"Results: Keller defeated Stuart 53% to 46%".
