据决策台总部（DDHQ）预测，共和党人乔·斯特拉达将赢得佛罗里达州第11国会选区的竞选。来自莱克玛丽的小企业主斯特拉达击败了民主党人詹姆斯·佩里科拉，将接替即将退休的众议员丹尼尔·韦伯斯特（共和党-佛罗里达州）。《库克政治报告》将此次竞选评为“稳固共和党”。
Republican Joe Strada is projected to win the race for Florida’s 11th Congressional District, according to Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ). Strada, a small-business owner from Lake Mary, beat Democrat James Pericola to succeed retiring Rep. Daniel Webster (R-Fla.). Cook Political Report rated this race “solid Republican.”
据DDHQ统计，截至周二晚7点13分，在51%的选票统计完毕时，斯特拉达以近四个百分点的优势领先佩里科拉，得票率为51.5%对47.6%。
Strada led Pericola by nearly four percentage points — 51.5 to 47.6 percent — with 51 percent of the vote reported by DDHQ as of 7:13 p.m. Tuesday.
斯特拉达高中时期开始做零工，毕业后直接从事技术行业。通过他的暖通空调、管道和电气公司，他声称为佛罗里达社区创造了数千个就业岗位。他的竞选网站写道：“乔不是在寻求政治生涯。他参选是因为国会需要更多签过工资支票正面、建设过实实在在东西、并承担过远离工作现场制定的政策后果的人。”
Strada started working as a handyman during high school and went directly into the trades after graduation. Through his HVAC, plumbing and electric company, he claims to have created thousands of jobs for his Florida community. “Joe is not seeking a career in politics,” his campaign website reads. “He is running because Congress needs more people who have signed the front of a paycheck, built something real, and lived with the consequences of policies written far from the job site.”
斯特拉达的竞选网站列出的优先事项包括调查国会议员股票交易、制定国会任期限制和平衡联邦政府预算。网站称，斯特拉达支持“让美国再次健康”运动、完成特朗普总统的边境墙建设以及通过选举诚信立法。
Strada’s campaign website lists priorities that include investigating Congressional stock trading, enacting Congressional term limits and balancing the federal government’s budget. The site says Strada supports the Make America Healthy Again movement, finishing President Trump’s border wall and passing election integrity legislation.
斯特拉达是丈夫、父亲和祖父。这位佛罗里达州共和党人获得了众议员兰迪·法因（共和党-佛罗里达州）、吉姆·乔丹（共和党-俄亥俄州）、史蒂夫·斯卡利斯（共和党-路易斯安那州）、汤姆·埃默（共和党-明尼苏达州）以及参议员蒂姆·斯科特（共和党-南卡罗来纳州）的背书。
Strada is a husband, father and grandfather. The Florida Republican was endorsed by Reps. Randy Fine (R-Fla.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Steve Scalise (R-La.), Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
