People who want to run for a federal office have until Friday to qualify for the ballot.

Federal qualifying began at noon today. Congresswoman Corrine Brown filled out her paperwork and paid 10-thousand dollars today to run for another term in Washington.

“I think election is like a report card and you work hard and I believe you let the work you have done speak for yourself and I’ve worked hard and I want people to know that,” said Brown.

Former House Speaker Marco Rubio is expected to turn in his qualifying paperwork for the US Senate election Wednesday. Governor Charlie Crist will qualify later this week, although it’s unclear if he’ll stay in the Republican Primary or register as a no party affiliation candidate.
