Republican Congressman John Mica will run against fellow GOP Rep. Sandy Adams under new maps expected to be approved by the state Senate on Thursday, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
Mica and Adams are drawn together under the map, though a nearby district was thought to be the landing place for Mica. But Mica told the paper that he intends to stay put.
“My home is there. This is a decision I made with my wife, my family and my supporters,” he said.
Charlie Keller, Adams’ chief of staff, also said she doesn’t plan to move.
“The congresswoman has declared where she is running and what her intentions are, and I think that statement speaks for itself right now,” Keller said.
