Florida's 2nd congressional district is a congressional district in the U.S. state of Florida. The district consists of the eastern part of the Florida Panhandle along with much of the Big Bend region along the Emerald Coast. It straddles both the Eastern and Central time zones. It is anchored in the state capital of Tallahassee and includes Panama City.
The district is currently represented by Republican Neal Dunn.
Characteristics
Florida's 2nd Congressional District consists of all of Bay, Calhoun, Franklin, Gadsden, Gulf, Jackson, Jefferson, Leon, Liberty, Taylor, Wakulla and Washington counties, and portions of Holmes and Madison counties.
The largest population center in the district is Tallahassee, the state capital and county seat of Leon County. While the adjacent 1st and 3rd congressional districts are among the most conservative districts in the state, the 2nd District has historically been more of a swing district. Tallahassee is far more liberal than the rest of the district, and Democrat Barack Obama received 62 percent of the Leon County vote in the 2008 presidential election, but Republican John McCain received 54 percent of the 2nd district's vote overall.
