Daytona Beach, FL – There’s now a Democrat in the race for the United States Congress spot being vacated by Ron DeSantis.
Daytona Beach state representative Dwayne Taylor is giving up his run for Volusia County Council Chairman to challenge 3 other Republicans for DeSantis’ House seat.
The other candidates in the race are Ormond Beach realtor GG Galloway, former US Congresswoman Sandy Adams and former New Smyrna Beach Mayor Adam Barringer.
Taylor’s departure from the VCC Chairman race leaves just 2 candidates: current VCC Chairman Jason Davis and Orange City Mayor Tom Laputka.
Taylor – a former Daytona Beach City Commissioner – is term-limited in the state House.
DeSantis is leaving his House seat to go for the US Senate seat being vacated by Marco Rubio as he runs for the White House.
