Florida lawmaker, Joe Negron, picked to replace Foley
ORLANDO, Fla. (CNN) -- Florida Rep. Joe Negron was selected on Monday by the Republican Party of Florida's Executive Board to replace former Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned Friday after reports surfaced about inappropriate e-mails he exchanged with former Congressional pages.

Jeff Sadosky, the director of communications for the RPOF said the vote was unanimous. Negron, 45, is currently the representative of District 82 in the state legislature, which includes parts of Palm Beach, Martin, and St. Lucie Counties. He was first elected to the Florida House in 2000.

"I am pleased with the Party's choice of Representative Negron to run in the 16th district," said Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla., in a statement. "I fully endorse his campaign; Rep. Negron is a man of integrity and he will represent Floridians with honor."
