A plan to oust the Republican incumbent of Florida’s 4th Congressional District will first require winning the primary Tuesday. Eleven months after he announced his candidacy on First Coast Connect, local attorney and civic leader Michel Kirwan returns just five days ahead of Tuesday’s decisive Democratic primary. We ask him about recent polling that puts him behind opponent LaShonda Holloway despite his significant financial advantage and how he plans to use the final days to convince voters he’s the best qualified opponent to challenge Republican incumbent Aaron Bean. First Coast Connect is covering a range of local races and election-related topics between now and Nov. 3. You can find all of our election coverage here and detailed information about upcoming elections, including information about candidates and ballot initiatives in your district, at the nonpartisan League of Women Voters website Vote411.org. Additional candidate coverage is featured in Jacksonville Today’s political section.
