As incumbent Democrat Angie Nixon is running for the U.S. Senate, it’s an open race for House District 13 this year. Two Democrats will be on the ballot for their party’s August primary. No Republicans are in the race, but a write-in candidate did qualify for the general election. That means the race will not become a Universal Primary Contest, and the Democratic primary will remain closed.

Incumbent Democratic Rep. Tracie Davis is being challenged in the August Primary by Cynthia Smith in this central Jacksonville legislative district. There is no Republican running in Novembers General Election, so this primary will be open to all voters. I have worked with my colleagues to deliver millions back to my district for infrastructure, parks, colleges, and universities projects. Absolutely, I believe that we must work across the board to address racial justices so everyone can feel safe in the world we live. I believe we must be cautious and caring of others when meeting the community to ensure we are not aiding the problem.
