Two Republican candidates will face off in Floridas primary election to determine who will run against Democrat Jim Kennedy in November to serve as the U.S. House District 8 Congress member. Incumbent Bill Posey and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Scott Caine are the two Republican candidates on the August primary ballot. Whoever wins the primary will be on the November ballot running against the lone Democrat running for the seat, Jim Kennedy. (WKMG)Caine is a former fighter pilot who retired after 30 years in the military, finishing his career as vice commander of the 9th Air Force, overseeing 29,000 Airmen. Caine joined the U.S. Air Force in 1987 after graduating from Georgia Tech with a degree in electrical engineering.
