GREEN COVE SPRINGS – Businessman Judson Sapp filed the necessary paperwork last Monday to run for Florida’s 3rd Congressional District, covering all of Alachua, Bradford, Clay, Putnam, Union and northern Marion county.
“As a father, husband, and businessman I am concerned about the future of our republic,” said Sapp in a press release. “Democrats are pushing a radical socialist agenda with no bounds – higher taxes, burdensome regulations and significant erosions of our constitutional rights.
“I’m running for Congress because I want to fight back – for your family and mine! “We need more businessmen in Congress who understand what it’s like to make a payroll, with firsthand experience of how government largess often adversely affects our economic growth. It would be my honor to serve and bring some North Florida common-sense to Washington.”
Judson Sapp was raised in Clay County. Sapp is the CEO of W.J. Sapp Railroad Contractor, which operates throughout the Southeastern United States. Judson lives in Green Cove Springs with his wife Kelly and two sons, Willard and Ryder.
Sapp’s campaign said it raised more than $100,000 in the first eight hours of his official campaign last Monday.
The Florida 3rd Congressional District seat currently is being held by Republican Ted Yoho. Although Yoho has said he intends to run, he hasn’t filed the necessary paperwork. Amy Pop-Wells is a declared Republican candidate for the district, as well as Democrat candidates Philip Dodds and Tom Wells.
