Once Marco Rubio announced his bid for the 2016 presidential election, it meant his Senate seat would be up for grabs, since a Florida law prohibits him from appearing on the ballot twice.
The fight to fill his seat is quickly becoming one of the most heated races of the 2016 cycle.
Last week, Florida Republican Lieutenant Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera announced that he is challenging Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis and Democratic Congressmen Alan Grayson and Patrick Murphy for that seat.
“Here in Florida we’ve turned the economy around” we hear him say, “creating almost 900,000 new jobs, cutting our debt, balancing out budget and giving you back more of your money.”
“We’ve proven,” he goes on, “conservative principles work – less taxes, less government and more freedom.”
But with two Republican 2016 presidential candidates from Florida, the Sunshine State is still up for grabs.
With the 2016 Florida U.S. Senate election between Alan Grayson (aka Bernie Sanders Junior) and Lopez-Cantara as the establishment GOP candidate, the race may be a good indicator on which direction the state is heading.
