David Shoar enters already heated GOP Primary in SD 7
Former St. Johns Sheriff David Shoar has filed for an open Senate Seat in Northwest Florida.
The St. Augustine Republican plans to run in Senate District 7. That sets up a high-profile GOP Primary with Rep. Tom Leek, who previously faced only former professional wrestler Gerry James for the Republican nomination.
“I raised my right hand at 18 years old, and was a public servant from age 18 to 59 and a half,” Shoar said. “I was never in the cheap seats. I was always in the arena. I want to get back involved and I think my Republican friends could use some help in Tallahassee.”
Shoar, now 62, served 16 years as Sheriff before choosing to retire after four terms.
He has worked since March 2023...
