A former Florida Democratic representative is running for Congress again after serving more than two years in federal prison on a litany of mail and tax fraud charges.
Former Rep. Corrine Brown, who represented the Jacksonville area in Congress for 24 years before being defeated in the 2016 Democratic primary by Rep. Al Lawson, announced her decision to mount a comeback bid in Florida’s newly redrawn 10th Congressional District, offering details in a press release posted on her campaign website.
Brown noted that her conviction has “shown her firsthand the inequality of the American judicial system” in a statement posted on her website. “It’s a calling. It’s a service. It’s like a minister, [who has] a calling,” Brown said. “It’s something that I prayed over, and I just know that I can make a difference.”
