Eleanor Sobel Defers Hollywood Mayoral Decision Until March

Florida Sen. Eleanor Sobel, D-Hollywood, said on Tuesday she would hold off on making a decision for running for mayor of Hollywood until the end of the legislative session in March.

“I have been receiving a number of inquiries about this seat,” Sobel said about running for mayor. “Given my love for Hollywood, my years of service to this community and the fact that I am term-limited from the state Senate, I certainly understand the inquiries.

“However, given my work as a chair of a vital Senate committee and the critical nature of the upcoming special session, I am forestalling any decision until after the legislative session is completed in March,” Sobel added.
