The outlets agree that Gilbert entered the race for Florida’s 24th Congressional District. The coverage alike treats the story as Gilbert’s entry into the race, while varying in emphasis: one account highlights his contest with Shevrin Jones, another his commission resignation and broader race shifts, and another the crowded Democratic field after Frederica Wilson said she would not seek reelection.
