Deborah Gibson, one of the women who said failed Senate candidate Roy Moore pursued her romantically as a teenager, has signaled her intention to run for the Florida Legislature.

Gibson said she will seek the 89th District Seat in the Florida House as a Democrat. The seat is currently held by Republican Bill Hager.

"Coming off the sidelines for the first time politically seems a natural response to realizing that too many of us, particularly women, have felt that some special mysterious qualification was needed to participate in our democratic process as a candidate," Gibson said in a statement posted to fundraising site CrowdPac.

"The past 5 months have crystallized what's been coming to me for a decade more gradually-- the Republican Party is no longer the right fit for me; I am proudly running as a Democrat."

1. Good. The GOP "is no longer the right fit" for any sane person.

The last time it was, Lincoln was president.

3. Along the Coast in Palm Beach County

Bill Hager (her opponent) did come out in favor of an amendment to ban assault weapons. He also would like to talk about moving the Capitol out of Tallahassee. Most of the other stuff on his face book page is just general non-controversial stuff - seems like a good government type.

It's plausible though - i hope she does well.
