Those wondering what’s next for former state Sen. Lauren Book didn’t have to wait long to find out. She just filed to run for Senate District 37 spanning coastal parts of Miami-Dade and Broward, where she hopes to succeed Jason Pizzo, her successor as Senate Democratic Leader.
The seat won’t open until 2028 – unless Pizzo follows through on a rumored Governor’s bid in 2026 for which he’s considered a strong Democratic contender.
“My work is not done,” Book said. “I have a lifelong connection to this community and a clear understanding of the issues that matter most to its residents.”
