DRAFT WAYNE HOGAN -- Decennial Redistricting Means St. Johns County May Elect a Local Hero to the U.S. Congress

Local Hero Wayne Hogan: Let's Draft Him to Run for Congress Next Year!


In 2002, Rep. John Mica became our Congressman from St. Augustine.

Mica had represented Central Florida until then-Florida House Speaker Tom Feeney drew himself a district in which he thought he could win -- thereby inflicting a badly gerrymandered Congressional district upon Rep. Mica (and the rest of us) that began two blocks south of Mica's house and extended to Ponte Vedra.

In 2011, the State Legislature staff's proposed redistricting map put Rep. Mica back in a compact, reliably Republican district in Central Florida, leaving St. Johns County to elect a local Democrat -- celebrated trial lawyer Wayne Hogan.

See below -- my October & November 2002 letters to the St. Augustine Record in support of Wayne Hogan for Congress. While the 1% may wail and gnash their teeth, Wayne Hogan has the experience and the heart to be an excellent Congressman.
