TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - A Republican party official says U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez of Florida will not seek a second term in 2010.
The official said Martinez was scheduled to make the announcement at a Tuesday morning press conference in Orlando. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to make the announcement.
Martinez was elected in 2004 after serving as the U.S. secretary for Housing and Urban Development for President George W. Bush. |
