| Description | State Sen. Dan Gelber of Miami Beach is expected to announce this morning that he is running in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Mel Martinez.
Gelber would join U.S. Rep. Kendrick Meek of Miami as the major candidates who've so far jumped in to what is anticipated to be a competitive race for the Democratic nomination for that Senate seat.
Gelber will make his announcement at his home. But there is little mystery about his plans.
He let it be known he will likely join the race after Chief Financial Office Alex Sink announced Jan. 16 she will not run for the U.S. Senate. Sink had been considered the party's early favorite.
Gelber, a former federal prosecutor, has served as the House Democratic leader the past two years before being elected to the Senate in November. |
