A second match-up between Democrat Representative Gwen Graham and former Congressman Steve Southerland (R) could be in the works, as Southerland is strongly considering another run for office in Florida’s 2nd congressional district.
Southerland lost to Graham by the narrowest of margins in 2014, but with the Florida Supreme Court ordering new congressional lines to be drawn after Republicans in the state Legislature were caught “fixing” the redistricting maps in 2012, Southerland’s old district is expected lean ‘very red.’Here is what the Tallahassee Democrat wrote about what Southerland said about his potential congressional run:

Graham says she is staying put, and not running for the U.S., even though she may find herself running for re-election in very different looking district-a true Republican district.
Rep. David Jolly (R) just jumped ship from his congressional district and is running for the U.S. Senate in 2016 for this very same reason.
