[ccharles000]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Rep. Corrine Brown is ending a Senate exploratory committee and choosing instead to run for re-election.

Brown has been considering a Senate run for months and gathering petitions for that campaign, but announced Friday that she will seek her ninth term in the House.

Brown said, "In these difficult times, I can use my position in the House to do even more to help my constituents."

Brown represents a district that stretches from Jacksonville to the Orlando area.

Other Democrats seeking the Senate seat vacated by Republican Mel Martinez are Rep. Kendrick Meek and former Miami Mayor Maurice Ferre. Republicans seeking the seat include Gov. Charlie Crist and former House Speaker Marco Rubio.
