I'll Take DeSantis's map for $800 I don’t remember the last time a sitting Florida governor has weighed into the redistricting process (at least not in my lifetime) and submitted his own map.

Is the Fat Lady About to Sing in Florida? Florida Democrats are waking up to the somber news that Republicans have padded their lead of registered voters.
