TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- The political careers of several members of Congress -- including a Republican seeking to become the next U.S. House speaker -- could come to an abrupt halt under a sweeping overhaul of Florida's electoral map.

Florida Circuit Judge Terry Lewis on Friday recommended new boundaries for the state's 27 congressional districts, some of which would make it nearly impossible for U.S. Rep. Dan Webster -- one of the hard-line conservatives who pushed John Boehner to resign as speaker and then turned on Boehner's No. 2, Kevin McCarthy -- to win re-election from his current central Florida district.
