Orlando State Rep. Kamia Brown to run for state Senate to succeed Randolph Bracy

The reshuffling of Central Florida politics following U.S. Rep. Val Demings’ run for U.S. Senate continues, with state Rep. Kamia Brown, D-Orlando, filing to run for state Senate.

Brown, 40, is running in the district currently represented by state Sen. Randolph Bracy, who is vacating his seat to run for Congress to succeed Demings.

Brown, in her third term as state representative, is currently the only candidate filed to run in Senate District 11, which includes western Orlando, Apopka, and Ocoee.

Bracy will face former state attorney Aramis Ayala and civil rights attorney Natalie Jackson in the Democratic congressional primary in Demings’ district. Orlando City Commissioner Bakari Burns is also considering a run.
