The 2016 Volusia County Chair election took place on November 8, 2016, following a primary election on August 30, 2016. Incumbent County Chair Jason Davis ran for re-election to a second term, and was challenged by three opponents: Ormond Beach Mayor Ed Kelley, Orange City Mayor Tom Laputka, and activist Greg Gimbert. Though the race was formally nonpartisan, all four candidates were Republicans.[1] In the primary election, Kelley placed first by a wide margin, winning 47 percent of the vote. Davis placed second, winning 23 percent of the vote to Gimbert's 17 percent and Laputka's 13 percent.
In the general election, Kelley defeated Davis in a landslide, winning 62 percent of the vote to Davis's 38 percent.[2]
