Randolph Bracy announces bid for FL CD 10 Democratic Sen. Randolph Bracy on Tuesday announced what many Central Florida Democrats have been awaiting: He is running for Congress to succeed Rep. Val Demings. POLITICO first reported Bracy’s candidacy Tuesday afternoon. He then began sharing his plans with other media to win Demings’ seat representing Florida’s 10th Congressional District, which covers much of western Orange County, the same as Bracy’s state Senate district. “I’m running for Congress,” he said. “I’ve served this community now for almost 10 years. I love this community. “And I believe I can serve this community well in Congress. Many of the issues that I’ve been fighting on, justice and equity, the real debate is going on in Washington right now,” Bracy said. “I’ve sponsored and passed a police reform bill. They’re debating one right now and can’t come to an agreement. This is just an example.”
