2014年佛罗里达州第十三国会选区特别选举于2014年3月11日举行,旨在填补因联邦众议员比尔·扬于2013年10月18日逝世所造成的席位空缺。[1]此次选举的初选于2014年1月14日举行。[2]在此之前,比尔·扬于2012年的联邦众议院选举中以57%的得票率顺利取胜,并在逝世前不久宣布不再参与2014年选举。[3]在计票结束后,大卫·乔利成为了此次选举的胜利者。

2013年10月9日,自1971年起就一直担任坦帕湾地区联邦众议员的比尔·扬宣布不再参加2014年选举。不过比尔·扬于9天后就逝世了,因此需要举办一场特别选举以填补其遗留下来的空位。尽管比尔·扬在之前的选举中以极大的优势取胜,但这一选区在近些年来变得愈发有竞争性。在2000年的总统选举中,阿尔·戈尔以51%-49%的得票率在这一选区领先乔治·沃克·布什,不过小布什于2004年的选举中以51%-49%的优势领先。而在2008年与2012年两次总统选举中,奥巴马分别以51%-47%和50%-49%的优势在这一选区领先于约翰·麦凯恩和米特·罗姆尼。鉴于此,很多政治评论员和记者将这次选举视为2014年美国中期选举的领头羊。[4][5]虽然有人认为将特别选举视为领头羊的做法不妥,不过选举结果确实说明了公众情绪普遍支持共和党。[6]

2014年2月3日,参加特别选举的三位候选人大卫·乔利、卢卡斯·奥弗比和亚历克斯·辛克进行了一场电视辩论。辩论在圣彼得斯堡学院塞米诺尔校区举行,由坦帕湾时报和海湾新闻9共同举办,同时此次辩论在C-SPAN3上进行直播,阿尔·吕切尔、亚当·史密斯和艾米·霍莉菲尔德担任主持人。[47]海湾新闻9在辩论会后进行了一项不科学的民意调查,该调查显示观众认为大卫·乔利会以37%的得票率取胜,其次是亚历克斯·辛克的得票率为33%,以及卢卡斯·欧比的得票率为30%。[48]
根据OpenSecrets2014年2月13日报道称,竞选期间外部团体在选举中花费了350万美元,其中260万美元来自支持乔利的团体。这是2014年最烧钱的一次选举,也是历史上最烧钱的国会特别选举之一。[49]而美联社后来又报道称,由于民主党在竞选前最后几周投入了1100万美元,因此辛克的最终花费实际上超过了乔利。[50]
