Florida congressman Charlie Crist expected to announce bid for governor next week [View all]
Charlie Crist, the state’s former Republican governor turned Democratic congressman, is expected to announce next week that he’s making a second run for governor as a Democrat.
Crist said in a recent television interview that he is considering running for governor and tweeted Saturday that he will make a “major announcement” on May 4 in his home town of St. Petersburg.
Crist won the governor’s mansion as a Republican in 2006 after many years in GOP politics. He decided not to seek a second term, instead running in 2010 for a U.S. Senate seat, which he lost to Sen. Marco Rubio.
In 2014 Crist tried to mount a comeback as a Democrat, losing the governor’s race to former Gov. Rick Scott, who is now a U.S. senator.
