As Florida’s Aug. 23 primary draws near, the historic campaign for a Jan. 6 prisoner—who is running for a seat in the state House of Representatives—is rapidly gaining support.
As reported May 24 by The Epoch Times, Jeremy Brown is running to represent District 62 in the Florida House. It’s the first time someone has sought the position of state representative in the Sunshine State while incarcerated. Due to the unique nature of Brown’s candidacy, the Florida Department of State’s Division of Elections was unable to confirm whether there was anything in Florida’s Constitution or any law or statute that would disqualify Brown from serving as a state representative while in jail, or if he would be able to continue serving in that position were he to eventually be convicted of any crime.
