The article goes on to state the following:
“I will continue to seek what’s best for the citizens of Florida and will always be proud of what we accomplished together,” Lee wrote in her letter.
It is being speculated that Lee is planning to run for U.S. Congress in Florida’s 15th Congressional District.

Laurel Lee did a great job as @FLSecofState. She was constantly criss-crossing the state promoting our state’s history and culture. She was also kind to my son, which meant a lot to him. I wish her well… pic.twitter.com/K4SdAQjgSX
