State Rep. Michele Rayner, D-St. Petersburg, launched a campaign Monday to try to succeed Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist, who is running for governor in 2022.
Rayner joined a field that also includes state Rep. Ben Diamond, D-St. Petersburg, in what is now Congressional District 13 in Pinellas County.
“I am running for Congress because I believe that is where I can do the most good for my community: the community that raised me, the community that I love,” Rayner, an attorney, said in a prepared statement. “We need representatives in Congress who understand that politics is a calling to public service, not self-service.”
