JACKSONVILLE (FLV) – State Rep. Jason Fischer, R-Jacksonville, announced he will run for Florida’s 4th Congressional District. 

“Joe Biden and the Radical Left’s agenda is out of control. I am running for Congress to take back America from the woke mob,” Fischer said. “With rampant inflation, punishing gas prices, and chaos on our borders and overseas, Americans cannot afford the Democrats’ failed policies.”

Fischer has served in the Florida House of Representatives since 2016. He is a known advocate for parental rights in education, protecting the sanctity of life, and cutting taxes. He has a 100% A+ rating from the NRA and has an A rating from the American Conservative Union. 

“I am a conservative fighter with the record to prove it. In the Florida Legislature, I’ve fought to cut taxes, crack down on illegal immigration, enhance election integrity, and protect our Second Amendment freedoms,” Fischer said. “I will take that same fighting spirit to Congress to retire Nancy Pelosi as Speaker and shut down Biden’s radical agenda.”

Fischer is an electrical engineer who spent most of his career in the private sector. He also spent five years as a civilian engineer for the US Navy Naval Facilities Engineering Command. Fischer said he previously served as the lone conservative voice on the Duval County School Board. Fischer is a husband and father of three boys. He was born and raised on the west side of Jacksonville. 

The lines for Florida’s 4th Congressional District were redrawn during a 2022 Special Session in April. The new CD 4 will replace the current CD 5, which is currently represented by Democrat Al lawson.

Republican Congressman John Rutherford represents the current lines for Florida’s 4th congressional district. Rutherford is running for the new District 5. Republican Navy Veteran Erick Aguilar and Luna Lopez have put their hats into the race.

Democrat Al Robertson is also vying for the seat.
