U.S. Rep. John Rutherford is seeking his fifth term in Congress, and faces Democrat Jay McGovern and a write-in candidate.

U.S. Rep. John Rutherford, who has served three terms in District 4, chose to run in District 5 this year and defeated two Republican opponents in the August primary. Since no Democrats or other candidates qualified to run in the district this year, the former Jacksonville sheriff will return to Congress for two more years.
