Niceville’s Don Gaetz mulls run for U.S. Senate

Niceville.comApril 15, 2015Updated:July 28, 20211 Min Read

News outlets across the state are reporting that Niceville’s Don Gaetz, a Republican state senator, is considering a run for U.S. Senate.

Gaetz yesterday told the Tampa Bay Times that Florida CFO Jeff Atwater’s decision to not seek the seat held by Sen. Marco Rubio has led him to consider entering the race. Gaetz said he would be a self-funding candidate and that his wife, Vicky, is behind him.

“With Jeff Atwater out, that just shows how much the eggs have been scrambled in Florida, that I have people calling me and offering substantial commitments of support,” Gaetz said.

Gaetz, a former Florida Senate president, also served as Okaloosa’s Superintendent of Schools and as a school board member representing the Niceville area.
