[Pilotguy]

NAPLES — Trey Radel, a former Southwest Florida television and radio personality, was the surprise winner in Tuesday’s District 19 Congressional race, buoyed by an endorsement from outgoing Rep. Connie Mack.

According to the state’s election website, with more than 74,000 votes counted, Radel had about 30 percent of the vote. He declared victory at about 8:25 p.m.

Chauncey Goss came in second in the district with about 21.5 percent.

Goss, 46, of Sanibel Island, was endorsed by Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin congressman who is Mitt Romney’s choice for vice president. Ryan was in Southwest Florida two weeks ago stumping for Goss.
