After flirting with the idea of challenging fellow FAMU alumnus Kendrick Meek for the state’s Democratic U.S. Senate nomination, Corrine Brown now says she’s going to stick with her current job.Brown is officially disbanding her Senate exploratory committee and is now gearing up to run for re-election to her current Congressional seat.
Meek, also a Congressman, said he looks forward to working with Brown on Capitol Hill throughout the coming years.
“The families of northeast and central Florida are fortunate to have Chairwoman Corrine Brown as their Congresswoman,” Meek said. “I respect her career of legislative accomplishments, and with her seniority there is no greater advocate in Congress to help bring high-speed rail to central Florida and thousands of jobs to the I-4 corridor. Job fairs that she has organized in Jacksonville and Orlando are helping to put thousands of people back to work and only Congresswoman Brown can deliver those results. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Congresswoman Brown and deliver a shared agenda of progress for the people of Florida.”
