Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.) is opting to run for another term in the House of Representatives, avoiding what she said would be a “bruising primary” battle for one of Florida’s two U.S. Senate seats.

Murphy told supporters on May 24 that she’s been traveling across the state since February, listening to Democrats to try to “regroup and re-energize” the state party ahead of the 2022 elections.
