The old (foreground) and new (background) Florida State Capitol Buildings in Tallahassee are shown in this photo from the 2005 start Florida Legislature's annual session. Tracie Davis and Reggie Gaffney have been parts of Jacksonville's political life for years, but Democrats haven't had to choose one over the other until now. If you're thinking about who to vote for to represent Florida Senate District 5, here are some basic facts. What area will the winner represent? District 5 covers most of Jacksonville inside Interstate 295 (but nothing east of Southside Boulevard or south of Baymeadows Road) and on the Westside reaches as far west as the First Coast Expressway.
