“Former North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn was arrested Wednesday in Florida on an out-of-county warrant after he failed to show up in court, according to news coverage. Cawthorn was arrested Wednesday morning in Cape Coral for failing to make an appearance in court over an Aug. 19 citation for driving without a valid license, according to Gulf Coast News. The former one-term congressman was later released on a $2,000 bond, according to the Lee County Sheriff’s Office, Gulf Coast News reported. … The arrest comes after Axios reported on Sept. 3 that Cawthorn is preparing to launch a 2026 bid for Florida’s 19th congressional district. The open seat is currently held by Republican Rep. Byron Donalds, who announced in February that he is running for Florida governor instead of reelection.” (09/11/25)
