Rep. Val Demings (D-Fla.) is considering taking on Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) for the U.S. Senate seat he holds representing the state of Florida.

“I’m humbled at the encouraging messages I’m seeing today. I know the stakes are too high for Republicans to stand in the way of getting things done for Floridians, which is why I’m seriously considering a run for the Senate. Stay tuned,” Demings said in a missive on social media on Tuesday.
