Senate 2010: Dan Gelber set to announce on Tuesday

Posted by Wayne Garcia on Jan. 26, 2009, at 3:01 pm

Former House Minority Leader and current Florida Sen. Dan Gelber, to no one’s surprise, is set to announce his Democratic candidacy for Mel Martinez’s seat. The Miami Herald:

Democratic state Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach will announce tomorrow what everybody already knows — that he’s running for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

The race is a Miami-Dade family feud so far, with Democratic U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami as the only other announced candidate. Former House Speaker Marco Rubio of Miami is also expected to run.
