Navy veteran and former congressional candidate Phil Ehr, a Democrat, announced Wednesday that he's leaving his party's primary race for the U.S. Senate and will challenge incumbent Rep. Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., in Florida's race for the 28th Congressional District seat.
"We have in the House of Representatives chaos that is damaging America, chaos that is preventing us from being able to respond overseas," Ehr said. Senate Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, encouraged Mucarsel-Powell to run for the Florida seat. Ehr also noted that he's been a resident of Florida, and said that while he was in the military, he did several missions in the area, including the rescue of Cuban exiles during the Mariel boatlift.
