After getting elected to the Florida Senate last month, Broward County Democrat Barbara Sharief is planning to run again in 2028.
Sharief this week opened a campaign account as a first step in seeking re-election in Senate District 35, according to the state Division of Elections website.
Sharief joined three other senators who have opened 2028 accounts: Sen. Tom Leek, R-Ormond Beach; Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando; and Sen. Jonathan Martin, R-Fort Myers.
Also, former Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book, a Davie Democrat who left the Legislature this fall because of term limits, has opened an account to try to return to the Senate in 2028.
