 Though Holder and Shapiro pledged to run positive campaigns, a group supporting Holder, People for a Better Florida Fund, which received a sizable donation from Holder's stepmother, attacked Shapiro for being a "millionaire trial lawyer" and for opposing tort reform.Holder narrowly won over Shapiro, winning 51% of the vote to Shapiro's 49%, a margin of just 756 votes.In 2008, retired dentist Sam Rosenfeld received the Democratic nomination to challenger Holder's bid for re-election, and though Democrats were hopeful that Rosenfeld could defeat Holder, given the closeness of his initial election, Holder easily dispatched his opponent, winning re-election with 61% of the vote.
