Former Congressman Dave Weldon announced today that he’s seeking to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson in Florida, reports the Miami Herald:

“We are at a time in our nation’s history where we the people have to make tough choices that will determine our national direction for the next 4 years . . . choices that determine America’s direction for decades,” Weldon, who represented the Space Coast from 1994-2008, said in a written statement.

 As for who would run Wheldon’s press operation? None other than former Rick Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley.
