Rep. Fred Costello has announced he will again run for the Florida House of Representatives, District 25, rather than seek the seat in the U.S. Congress that will be left vacant by U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis who has announced a bid for the U.S. Senate.
The Senate seat is available because Sen. Marco Rubio has announced a run for the U.S. presidency.
“While I believe I am well positioned to be competitive in the Congressional race, I have decided that I can best serve Floridians by remaining in the Florida House of Representatives,” he said in a statement.
He said he is supporting former state Rep. Sandy Adams, who was defeated in 2012 in a bid for a second term by Rep. John Mica.
