Ambler to run for Florida Senate in 2010

April 01st, 2008 | Category: Florida Politics Blog

State Rep. Kevin Ambler, R-Lutz, wants to win re-election that year, but he plus filed today to run for state Senate seat of Victor Crist, R-Tampa. Ambler said he wanted to clear anybody’s doubts about his future political ambitions by being the first to file for the 2010 race. Crist is term-limited out in 2010 for the district that includes parts of Hillsborough and

Pasco counties.

"We expect our legislators to plan for the budgets of the future. … Why shouldn’t I be upfront and forward about showing that I have an intent in continuing in public service?" asked Ambler, whose only 2008 challenger so far is Adam Phinney of Citrus Park, who has no party affiliation.
