The Democratic candidate who ran against Rep. Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, last November has filed to run for the position again.

Democrat Adam Morley ran against Renner for the District 19 Florida State House of Representatives for District 19 in 2022 and also faced Renner in 2018 for the then-District 24 seat.

“I’m looking forward to running a clean race and representing the area I was born and raised in,” Morley said.

Renner’s term ends in 2024.

So far, Morley is one of two candidates who have filed to run for the open seat: Morley filed on March 6, and Flagler County Commissioner Donald O’Brien filed on Feb. 3.

Morley said that although he has filed as a Democrat, he doesn’t consider himself a partisan candidate.

Instead, he told the Observer, he is running on the issues important to his community, as he did for the 2022 race. Clean water, women’s rights and local control are a few of the top issues listed on his Facebook page.
