Bobby B. DuBose, D-Fort Lauderdale, formally filed his intention Wednesday to run for speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, or party majority leader, for the 2020-2022 term.

Rep. Bobby DuBose

In 2014, DuBose ran for term-limited Rep. Perry E. Thurston, Jr.'s seat, defeating Lauderdale Lakes City Commissioner Levoyd Williams in the open Democratic primary.

He is challenging Evan Jenne, D-Dania Beach, so far the only other candidate to file for the position.
