Madison Cawthorn, a former Republican congressman from North Carolina, has announced his candidacy for Florida’s 19th Congressional District.The seat is being vacated by Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running for governor of Florida in 2026. Cawthorn’s announcement comes about a month after his arrest for failing to appear in court related to a suspended driver’<\/a>s license. He was released on bond shortly after his arrest.<\/p>\n

Cawthorn, known for a series of controversies during his single term in Congress-including false drug allegations against lawmakers, a guilty plea for carrying a handgun at an airport, and a leaked personal video-lost<\/a> his reelection bid in 2022 and subsequently relocated to Cape Coral, Florida. he stated that the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk motivated him to return to politics, emphasizing his desire to provide strong representation for Floridians in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

In the upcoming race, Cawthorn will compete against five other Republican candidates as Donalds pursues the governorship. Donalds has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey, is considered a potential candidate for governor.
