Congresswoman Val Demings, an Orlando Democrat whose national profile has surged the past few years, advised supporters to “stay tuned” Tuesday as she “seriously” considers a run for the U.S. Senate.
After Politico reported early Tuesday that Demings was planning to run next year against U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., a Demings adviser said the third-term congresswoman and former Orlando police chief is expected to make an announcement in the coming weeks. Demings then confirmed on Twitter that she is looking at Rubio’s seat.
“I m humbled at the encouraging messages I m seeing today,” Demings tweeted shortly after noon. “I know the stakes are too high for Republicans to stand in the way of getting things done for Floridians, which is why I m seriously considering a run for the Senate. Stay tuned.”
