Florida GOP Rep. Daniel Webster announces he will not seek reelection
Webster said he is leaving after eight terms to spend more time with his family, while more than 57% of the district's voters are Republicans.
- On Tuesday, Florida Congressman Daniel Webster announced he will not seek reelection, citing a desire to spend more time with his ill wife, Sandy Webster.
- Serving in the U.S. House since 2011, the 77-year-old Republican describes himself as the "architect of Florida's Republican majority" and has championed fiscal responsibility and infrastructure policy.
- Webster dismissed speculation regarding redistricting, insisting his decision is personal and that he remains "fully focused on finishing strong" on a critical transportation reauthorization bill.
- His retirement adds Webster to at least 36 Republicans not seeking reelection this fall, triggering a scramble for his conservative District 11 seat among prospective successors.
- Prospective candidates have until June 12 to file for the seat, and observers anticipate potential contenders will seek support from President Donald Trump.
