2001 Florida's 1st congressional district special election
The 2001 special election for Florida's 1st congressional district took place on October 16, 2001, to fill the vacancy caused by Representative Joe Scarborough 's resignation. Florida's 1st congressional district was a staunchly conservative district stretching from Panama City Beach to Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle .
State Representative Jeff Miller , the Republican nominee, easily defeated Steve Briese, a financial writer and the Democratic nominee.

Political commentators widely expected that Miller, who had previously represented parts of the 1st District in the state legislature, would easily triumph over Briese and John G. Ralls Jr., a podiatrist running as an independent candidate,[5] [3] September 11 terrorist attacks , which occurred a little more than a month before the election. Given the location of seven military installations in the district, including Pensacola Naval Air Station and Eglin Air Force Base , Briese emphasized both his experience in the military and his time working as a contractor on repair projects for some of the bases.[5] George W. Bush , saying, "Our president needs a partner in the 1st Congressional District. I am ready to be that partner."[6] George W. Bush 's leadership in the War on Terror .[5]
Ultimately, owing to the conservative nature of the district, Miller defeated Briese and Ralls in a landslide, and won his first term in Congress.
