Gaetz says no to US Senate, Maybe to US House
June 3rd, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
Former Senate President Don Gaetz has decided against a run for the US Senate seat currently held by Marco Rubio. The Niceville Senator says he would have to give up the remaining 16 months in his term and resigning would be costly and unethical.
I’d have to spend 537 days trying to convince people and the rest of Florida to get to know me and my positions. That would of required my resigning from the Florida Senate. That would of in turn caused a special election in my senate district, which would have caused the people in my senate district hundreds and thousands of dollars. I don’t think that’s right. I don’t think it’s ethical. I think it would be selfish” said Gaetz.
Gaetz is being urged to run for the US House if current Congressman Jeff Miller runs for the Senate.
