Update: John Mica spokesman Alan Byrd says the Congressman will run from the district in which his home is located, District 7.

The Florida Supreme Court said today it would hear arguments in early November on a new congressional map. Meanwhile, Congressman Ron DeSantis told reporters he is in the US Senate race for the long haul, which could set off a congressional shuffle because of redistricting. One scenario would have John Mica shifting to the DeSantis seat, allowing Dan Webster to run in a safe GOP seat instead of a newly redrawn seat that favors Democrats. DeSantis thinks the switch is a bad idea because it doesn’t build party.

“So I don’t know exactly how the lines are gonna go, but I think if it forces some Republican candidates to get out into some different constituencies, it might make some of the immediate elections a little more difficult, but I think over the long term, you start developing a conversation and start articulating your principles and how, in my case how limited government principles can make a positive difference in peoples lives, I think that’s probably a really good thing over the long term” says the Congressman.

DeSantis’s current seat runs along the coast from south of Jacksonville to New Smyrna Beach.
