Former state Rep. Jackie Toledo will not challenge U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee.
Toledo backed off a bid against the GOP incumbent weeks after teasing a run for Florida’s 15th Congressional District. She considered running after former President Donald Trump called in a Truth Social post for “MAGA Republicans” to challenge Lee.
“After much consideration and prayer, I have decided not to run for Florida’s 15th district,” Toledo posted on X. “I want to thank everyone who reached out to me with words of encouragement and support. While I am not running now, my commitment to America-first values remains unwavering.”
