Nelson Mulling Bid for Florida Governor

Democrats close to Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) are letting potential supporters know the three-term senator is “waiting in the wings” if Charlie Crist’s (D) campaign for Florida governor stumbles, the News Service of Florida reports.

“Nelson’s chief of staff, Pete Mitchell, called some prominent Democrats recently and told them the 71-year-old Nelson, who has been coy about his interest in the governor’s race, is considering a bid.”
