Coley announces candidacy for District 5 House seat
Special to Washington County News
MARIANNA Republican Vance Coley, whose parents both served in the Florida House of Representatives, has filed pre-qualifying paperwork as a candidate for the District 5 Florida House seat being vacated by term-limited Rep. Brad Drake in 2022.
“The Great Northwest is my home,” Coley, 29, said. “It was always an easy decision to look beyond opportunities in other parts of the state and come back home to serve my community, like my father and mother before me.”
After beginning fundraising efforts last month, the Coley campaign has quickly raised over $11,500, according to campaign reports, with support from former House Speaker Allan Bense and other notable Republicans making an early appearance.
