Florida's 5th Congressional District

Attorneys for voting rights groups and the state will present arguments over the constitutionality of Florida's congressional map before the state's First District Court of Appeal on Tuesday.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has submitted a congressional map that lawmakers are expected to take up when they meet in Tallahassee on April 19 - 22. The drawing would eliminate African American Democratic Rep. Al Lawson's district.

Gov. Ron DeSantis says he won't support a congressional map that includes a U.S. House district in North Florida where minority voters can elect a candidate of their choice.

Last month, the Florida legislature sent a congressional map to Gov. Ron DeSantis for his approval. He vetoed it. And now legislative leaders say they’re planning to consider a map from his office for approval next week.

Voters and voting rights groups have filed two lawsuits seeking an injunction to prevent the state's current congressional map from remaining in effect and the implementation of a court-ordered map that's fair and constitutional.

Florida’s 5th Congressional District seat is up for grabs this year. The district stretches along the north border of the state from Duval to Gadsden County. Democratic Congressman Al Lawson who has held the seat since 2017 is facing two challengers in the primary.
