Jason Altmire to depart Florida Blue in advance of new book

Former Democratic U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire is leaving Florida Blue to promote his new book on political polarization, “Dead Center,” to be published this fall. “You only get one chance to do it right on something like this, so I’m going to go all-out to promote it and see where it leads,” he told FloridaPolitics.com. “I’m really excited. It will be an adventure, and the timing is perfect.”
