Tim Tebow recently noted that he would consider the possibility stepping into the political world at some point in his life. Well, Republican strategists in Florida were all ears, and they're now hoping that point comes sooner than later.
According to the Washington Examiner, the Republican party in Florida is hoping to convince the former Florida Gators star to run for U.S. Congress in Florida's 4th District, which includes the Jacksonville area where Tebow is from. That congressional seat is coming open after 71-year-old Republican Congressman Ander Crenshaw announced he would be retiring and not running for re-election this fall.
