Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry’s top political adviser left open the door for Curry making a run for Congress after the state Legislature votes next week on a redistricting map proposed by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis wants the Legislature to redraw the lines for the 5th Congressional district, which stretches from west Jacksonville to the Tallahassee area, so it becomes a Northeast Florida district encompassing the western half of Duval County plus Nassau and Clay counties.
“Mayor Curry is monitoring the redistricting process as it is unfolding in Tallahassee and considering how he can best continue his public service,” campaign consultant Tim Baker said.
