Rep. Michelle Salzman Says She’s Running For Congress After Gaetz Resignation
November 20, 2024
Florida House Rep. Michelle Salzman announced Tuesday that she is running for Congress after Maetz Gaetz resigned last week.
“I am making my intentions to run for Congress by filing today I want to do what is best for our country and helping President Trump with the Make America Great Again Agenda,” Salzman said.
Last Wednesday, President-elect Donald Trump announced Gaetz as his pick to serve as U.S. Attorney General, and Gaetz resigned from Congress hours later.
A special election will be held for Gaetz’s seat; a date for the election has not yet been set.
Under Florida’s “resign-to-run” law, Republican Salzman must resign her position irrevocably in writing at least 10 days before the first day of qualifying or before any successor for her current position takes office.
Escambia County Supervisor of Elections said Tuesday that he hopes a special election for Salzman’s seat, if she runs, could be held in conjunction with the special election for Gaetz’s seat.

We are so proud of the work you have done here at home. And we know you will continue to be a Rockstar in DC. Go get em girl and Help Donald Trump drain the swamp!!’
REGARDING:
“Why did the governor not have to resign when he ran for president?”
He got the state legislature to change the law JUST FOR HIM.
She would be far better than Matt. Bless her.
@Richard ~ To make an exception for Gaetz would require a special legislative session. Additionally, the Governor didn’t actually file to run for President. And, it’s “toes the line”, from the old military formation line-up requiring that you fall in and place your toes on the line. She doesn’t drag some line around, as “tow” might indicate. At any rate, if you don’t like her, don’t vote for her.
To latch onto any rumor or half truth because it fits your agenda, and the repeat it as if it is fact is, at its base, dishonest.
Richard: The state legislature changed the rules for him.
Washington probably doesn’t smell as bad since Bidens clown show was soundly rejected even with a few remaining squirrels running loose . Like to see Representative Salzman take AOC out behind the barn !
I want her to stay where she is. She can do more for us as local rep than as a Washington rep. Once they leave home things change. Please do not leave us.
Richard, I am sure if the governor did something wrong, the left would be all over it like “White on rice”. That is what they do!
Yes. You go girl. You have my vote.
Michelle should ask the governor to sign a bill for her to run for office while holding office. He did it for himself to run for president why not for her. She tows the party line…..
Why did the governor not have to resign when he ran for president?
Michelle is the best of the best. She is non-stop working for everything good for our benefit. What a wonderful caring person to have on our side! Thank you Michelle for all you do for us. God bless you in everything you do.
She has my support…. She’s a superstar….. no matter which insurance agent disagrees
