Adam Brandon<\/strong><\/a>, who briefly explored a run for Florida House in 2022 before redistricting changed the map, will run to succeed fellow Republican Michael Boylan<\/strong><\/a> on the Jacksonville City Council<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Boylan will be term limited out of the Southside seat in 2027, and Brandon is thus far the first candidate to file. He says he\u2019s \u201crunning to restore common sense to City Hall and protect our quality of life in District 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJacksonville families need a relentless advocate to tackle rising prices, support public safety, and ensure our tax dollars are spent wisely. As a Navy Commander, I\u2019ve prosecuted terrorists in Iraq, led Sailors and Marines, and served in a wide range of community organizations to deliver results. At City Hall, I\u2019ll bring the same discipline, accountability, and common sense I\u2019ve lived by my entire career,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Though he is relatively new as a candidate, he\u2019s well-known and respected in legal and political circles statewide. Notably, Gov. Ron DeSantis <\/strong>has appointed him to\u00a0the Judicial Nominating Commissions for both the First and Fifth District Courts of Appeal.<\/p>\n

Brandon\u2019s military work has taken him across the world, including to Guantanamo Bay, where he served as a member of the Judge Advocate General\u2019s Corps as Chief of the Litigation Support Section. He is currently Executive Officer of a 60-person legal unit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As an active soldier, he was deployed as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom after graduating from Notre Dame Law School. He prosecuted members of al-Qaida in that capacity.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s active locally in a variety of organizations, including serving as a Rotarian and a board member of the American Red Cross-Northeast Florida Chapter.<\/p>\n

He is also past President of the Jacksonville Lawyers Chapter of the Federalist Society and past General Counsel of the Duval County Republican Executive Committee, and an alumnus of Leadership Florida, the James Madison Institute Leaders Fellowship, and the Jacksonville Regional Political Leadership Institute.<\/p>\n
