The 2006 Orange County, Florida, mayoral election took place on September 5, 2006. Incumbent Mayor Rich Crotty, who was first appointed in 2001 and elected in 2002, ran for re-election to a second full term. Following a 2004 amendment to the county charter that changed the name of the position,[1] this was the first election for "Mayor." Crotty did not face a serious challenger, and was opposed by anti-tax activist Sally Baptiste, a former member of the county Soil and Water Conservation District Board. Though the race was formally nonpartisan, both Baptise and Crotty were Republicans.[2] Crotty ultimately defeated Baptiste in a landslide, winning 70 percent of the vote.
