Despite speculation that he could possibly make a run for chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, House Speaker Will Weatherford says he's not interested in the position.

On Saturday, Weatherford took to Twitter to announce he wasn't going to run for the position, which will be up for grabs after current chair Lenny Curry steps down at the end of the month.

"Humbled by all the encouragement to run for RPOF chair but I have a higher calling right now ... being a more present husband and father," Weatherford tweeted.

A replacement for Curry will be chosen by the State Executive Committee on May 31 in Tampa.
