MIAMI (AP) — Florida Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera formally entered the race for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by his close friend Marco Rubio, who is running for president.
The 41-year-old Republican announced Wednesday on YouTube that he is running. He will speak later at the headquarters of All American Containers, a Miami company whose owner and employees have contributed tens of thousands of dollars to mostly Republican candidates.
Lopez-Cantera joins Republican U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis, who has already declared.
Democratic Congressmen Patrick Murphy and Alan Grayson are also running for the seat. The race is expected to draw national attention from both major parties and the media as it is seen as a possible Democratic pickup.
