Republican business owner Raul Arias beat Democrat Ramon Day in a heated contest for Jacksonville’s City Council District 11, representing Southeast Jacksonville.

Jacksonville may finally at long last be ready to settle the claims that the City Council racially gerrymandered its council and School Board district maps.
