On Wednesday, Gov. Rick Scott named former state Rep. Doug Holder to the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority. Holder will serve in that capacity until 2018.

Having faced term limits in the House back in 2014, Holder is looking to get back to Tallahassee, running for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, in 2018 when she faces term limits. Holder does not have an open shot at this early stage in the contest as Rep. Ray Pilon, R-Sarasota, filed to run for the Senate seat last month.
