Bob Cortes

Republican Rep. Bob Cortes will officially rev up his 2018 re-election campaign with an Aug. 1 kick-off event at his Altamonte Springs home.

The event is set to run from 5:30 pm to 7 pm and the guest list will feature some of the biggest names in Florida GOP politics.

Among the names on the host committee are House Speaker Richard Corcoran and his successor, HD 110 Rep. Jose Oliva. Altamonte Springs Sen. David Simmons, and at least a half-dozen other Republican representatives will also be in attendance.

Cortes’ district covers parts of Orange and Seminole counties, including Altamonte Springs and Maitland. The former Longwood city commissioner and  mayor is currently running unopposed for his third term in the House.

To attend, send an email to Ashley Albertson or call her at 850-222-8156.
