Each of the 24 Florida congressional incumbents won their parties' nominations in last Tuesday's primary election; in the 25th district there is one open seat due to the retirement of Rep. Dave Weldon [3] (R). According to The Hill [4], the only one that came close to losing was Rep. Ric Keller [5] (R), who barely beat talk show host Todd Long [6] in the 8th district. The other close primaries were the 3-way battles to challenge incumbents: lawyer Tom Rooney [7] won the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic Rep. Tim Mahoney [8] in the 16th district and lawyer and former Federal Trade Commission official Bill Mitchell [9] won the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Rep. Gus Bilirakis [10] in the 9th district.

Now that the primaries are over, CQ Politics [11] says the incumbents in danger in November are Democrats Tim Mahoney [8] and Ron Klein [12] and Republicans Tom Feeney [13], Vern Buchanan [14], Lincoln Diaz-Balart [15], Mario Diaz-Balart [16] and Ric Keller [5].

As part of Congresspedia's Wiki the Vote [17] project, citizen journalists from around the country (and even some candidates!) have been logging information about the candidates' positions, biographies and records. A full list of the candidates and their professions are below, but you can also find them at their respective state portals via the Wiki the Vote project homepage [17]. We need your help to find out more about these candidates, so if you know something about them please add it to their profile. (You can always contact [18] one of the staff editors for help.)
