The First Coast will be in the spotlight of the political world soon. CNN and the Republican Party of Florida will be hosting a Republican primary debate on Jan. 26. The time and place for this event will be decided shortly by CNN.

This will be the first ever North East Florida presidential debate. The Jacksonville and St. Augustine area was chosen because it looks to be a battleground section for the Florida primary.
