Less than a month after her campaign denied she was leaving the Florida gubernatorial race, Miami state Sen. Annette Taddeo is announcing plans to run for Florida’s 27th Congressional District.
Taddeo confirmed the move to the Herald on Monday afternoon, about two weeks from the end of the qualifying period to appear on the ballot for the Aug. 23 primary.
Among the Democratic candidates running to challenge incumbent U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar, a Republican, is Miami Commissioner Ken Russell.
