2002 Orange County, Florida Chairman election

The 2002 Orange County, Florida, Chairman election took place on September 10, 2002. Following the resignation of Chairman Mel Martínez to become U.S. Secretary of Housing and Urban Development in 2001, Governor Jeb Bush appointed County Property Appraiser Rich Crotty to serve out the remaining two years of Martínez's term. In 2002, Crotty ran in the regular election for a full term. He was opposed by nonprofit executive Diana Vazquez Cook and write-in candidate Timothy Devine. The election was held on September 10, 2002, the date of the statewide primary. Crotty defeated Vasquez Cook in a landslide, winning 73 percent of the vote.

Following a 2004 amendment to the county charter that changed the name of the position to "Mayor," this was the last election for "Chairman."
