Hillsborough County Commissioner Pat Kemp says she will announce at a Democratic Party fundraiser Saturday night that she plans to run for the Congressional District 15 seat held by Republican Laurel Lee.
Kemp said she was heavily recruited for the run by national and state-level Democratic organizations and considers the seat winnable.
The district “leans Republican, but only slightly,” she said. “It’s a possible win, depending all on turnout. Seeing the House as it is, it’s important for us to look at every possible seat,” she said, referring to the current narrow GOP majority.
