North Florida Congressman Al Lawson will continue to represent the district that stretches from Tallahassee to Jacksonville. Lawson won his re-election bid by defeating Republican Gary Adler. Lawson received 65% of the vote.
“I’m honored, and humbly thank all of you for electing me back to serve in Congress. And I promise like I did before, that I will stand tall in Washington. Literally, stand tall in Washington. And that’s what I’ve been able to do," he told supporters during a victory party Tuesday night at the Moon nightclub in Tallahassee.
This marks Lawson’s third term in Congress. He campaigned on protecting social security and bringing additional resources to North Florida. Lawson has a record of working across the aisle.
With that trust comes a duty to serve all the people of North Florida. And I will do my best to fulfill that duty every day and to fight to bring home the resources our area need as your Congressman," he said in a statement.
