With her boss out of the running, Tomalin sees a lane for her next move.
The race for Florida’s 13th Congressional District could soon draw another Democrat. St. Petersburg Deputy Mayor Kanika Tomalin is mulling a run.
“When Mayor (Rick) Kriseman was thinking about doing it, {I was] behind him 100% because he’s been such an effective leader, and I know what he would’ve done in D.C.,” Tomalin told Spectrum Bay News 9. “But now that he’s decided that he’s not in, absolutely it’s a consideration.”
Tomalin’s decision is by no means final, but the news got her, and her family, thinking. As someone with an eye for public service, the move would fit Tomalin well, though it would challenge her desire demonstrated so far in public office to stay largely out of the lime light.
