Jacksonville is not part of Congressional District 6. But CD 6 Republican candidate David Santiago will hold a meet-and-greet luncheon in the 904 next Wednesday.
The luncheon is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the River Club. It’s billed as a “meet and greet,” not a fundraiser. And star power, in the form of Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry, will be on hand.
Curry, billed as a special guest, will talk up Santiago, with whom the mayor has history.
Santiago and Curry worked together on Hispanic outreach during Curry’s time as RPOF chairman.
More recently, Santiago advocated for the Jacksonville pension tax bill on the floor of the Florida House.
Santiago, an Army veteran of Puerto Rican descent with a I-4 home base, is someone who many members of the Republican Party of Florida would like to see succeed in this race, both for what he brings to the table, and in terms of outreach to the burgeoning Central Florida Puerto Rican community.
