Former Democratic congresswoman Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is launching a campaign to challenge Sen. Rick Scott in Florida, a state where Democrats have struggled recently.
Several people familiar with Mucarsel-Powell’s candidacy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to outline internal campaign decisions, said her decision to run for Senate hinged on seeing a pathway to beat Scott even though Republicans have recently shown a consistent hold on the Sunshine State. A Democratic presidential or Senate candidate has not won Florida since President Barack Obama carried the state in 2012.
Mucarsel-Powell immigrated to the United States with her mother and three older sisters when she was 14 years old. Like many immigrants, she worked several jobs to keep her family economically afloat and has often said how only in America could she have a path to run and win national office.
Ten years after she emigrated to Miami, Mucarsel-Powell’s father was shot and killed outside his home by an armed criminal at a time when violence and instability continued to plague Ecuador and other Latin American countries.Mucarsel-Powell is the second major Democrat to announce plans to challenge Scott for his Senate seat.
