Adviser: Carly Fiorina 'strongly considering' Virginia Senate run

By Miranda Green, CNN

Washington (CNN)Former Presidential Republican candidate Carly Fiorina is "strongly considering" a run to unseat Hillary Clinton's former running mate Tim Kaine for Virginia senator in 2018, an adviser to the former Hewlett-Packard CEO told CNN.

Fiorina, who bowed out of the presidential race in February 2016 before a short stint as Ted Cruz's running mate, has been considering a run against Kaine in Virginia since November, said Frank Sadler, former campaign manager for her presidential run and the former executive director to her PAC.

Sadler said that Fiorina will likely make a formal decision about running for Senate in the fall, a timeline the former presidential candidate essentially confirmed to SiriusXM's Julie Mason earlier Tuesday.

"My decision will come, I suspect, after those elections are over but it's certainly a consideration," Fiorina said referencing Virginia's gubernatorial election this fall.

Okay, she has a home in Va. Can rich people just buy a home anywhere and then
run for office there?

when she ran for Senate in California? The closer to Silicon Valley the more the voters loathed her.

At least the footage of her and Cruz in 2016 will be good for some laughs.

Carly, take my advice and just give it up. It's uselesss.

Go live on an island somewhere and drink Pina Coladas all day. You'll be much happier, I promise.

Buy a house in every state and run for office until she finally wins one? I here they need a dog catcher in Alaska.
