Laurel Lee, Florida’s Secretary of State until last week, has joined the competitive Republican field in the U.S. House District 15 race.
Congressional election observers predict a Republican candidate is strongly favored to win the new District 15 seat.
The GOP currently holds 16 of the state’s 27 seats in Congress, with Florida this year adding a district because of population gains revealed in the latest census. Former Gov. Rick Scott appointed Lee, who holds bachelor’s and law degrees from the University of Florida, in 2013 as a judge in Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit. Gov. Ron DeSantis chose her as Secretary of State in January 2019.“I know what is at stake and how important it is that we send more conservatives to Washington,” Lee said in a news release.
