How the hell are we supposed to know the political leanings of congressional districts 10+ years from now?

One of the suburban Republican districts in Florida, maybe around where you grew up. Good luck!

I don't think this is the correct board for this.

I remember when I was 13 and wanted to run for political office in the future. Then I realized having fun + internet is an automatic disqualification for such an undertaking.

I'm careful about what I say, I don't make outlandish comments, also I feel our definitions of fun are very very different.

Florida, especially in Miami's suburbs. Alternatively, this sounds like someone who would be a staffer for, say, Lee Zeldin.

People who plan to run this early in advance always seem to put power over principle and thus shouldn't be elected.

That could be plausible, although by 2030 I wonder if that area will still be competitive?
