With Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink announcing today that she’ll run for governor, term-limited state Rep. Carl Domino, R-Jupiter, said today he’s leaning toward running for CFO next year if state Senate President Jeff Atwater, R-North Palm Beach, doesn’t run for Sink’s job.

If Atwater runs for CFO, Domino says he might run for Atwater’s Senate seat.

“I’m going to see where Jeff is on things, talk to him,” Domino said.

Atwater’s been mentioned as a CFO candidate or a possible gubernatorial candidate (he’s a great-grandson of early 20th century Gov. Napoleon Bonaparte Broward). Atwater this week said he’s focused on his Senate job, but, in response to queries from others, will do some “soul-searching” in the next few weeks about other offices.
