Sarasota Republican Party Chairman Joe Gruters is preparing to run for the Florida Legislature in 2016.
If state Rep. Greg Steube, R-Sarasota, runs for the Florida Senate, Gruters told the Sarasota Republican Executive Committee on Thursday he will run for Steubes District 73 House seat.
That district includes includes all of Sarasota County east of I-75 and north of Clark Road, plus all of Manatee County east of the interstate.
Im definitely leaning toward running, Gruters said in an interview confirming his interest.
Gruters, an accountant, is starting his seventh year as Sarasota Republican Party chairman and is vice chairman of the state Republican Party.
But it all hinges on what state Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, decides. Detert is considering running for the Sarasota County Commission in 2016, which would open her seat to several potential Republicans who want to jump to the Senate. That list includes former Rep. Doug Holder, Steube and Rep. Ray Pilon. All three have said they will run if Detert leaves before her term ends in 2018.
Gruters said he would not run against Steube for the seat and only would campaign for it if Steube seeks the Senate seat instead of re-election. If he runs, Gruters said he intends to remain party chairman. He said there are plenty of party leaders who have run for office. He pointed to state Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, who is currently chairman of the Hernando County Republican Party and the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida.
Gruters has long sought to be in the Florida Legislature. In 1998 at the age of 21, Gruters unsuccessfully tried to defeat then incumbent Rep. Shirley Brown, a Democrat, for re-election. He ran again for the seat in 2000 but finished third in a Republican primary.
A Republican who could be in the mix to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio if he runs for president in 2016 is coming to Sarasota next week to speak to local Republicans.
Lt. Gov. Carlos Lopez-Cantera is scheduled to speak to the Nokomis, Osprey, and Venice Area Republican Club (NOVA) on April 21.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio will sit down for an exclusive interview with ABC News Chief Anchor and "This Week" host, George Stephanopoulos, on Monday -- just a few hours before the Florida senator will announce whether he will run for president in 2016.
The interview will take place in Miami.
Rubio, 43, has been considering a presidential bid and he has indicated he will reveal his decision tomorrow.
"In just three days in Miami, I will announce whether I will run for president, for re-election to the Senate, or for commissioner of the National Football League," he joked at the National Rifle Association Convention in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday.
Born in Miami, Rubio, a Cuban-American, has invited supporters to an evening event at the Freedom Tower, an historic site in downtown Miami which holds symbolic importance for generations of Cubans.
Described as the "Ellis Island of the South," the tower once housed the Cuban Assistance Center, servicing thousands of Cuban refugees from 1962 to 1974.
Rubios parents emigrated from Cuba to the United States in the 1950s. From 2007 to 2009, Rubio served as the first ever Cuban-American Speaker of the House in the Florida state legislature.
Rubios ascent from state politics to the Senate came in 2010. Once considered a long-shot candidate, Rubio unexpectedly beat Floridas incumbent Gov. Charlie Crist, who switched his party affiliation from Republican to independent during the race.
In the Senate, Rubio has served on the Foreign Relations Committee, becoming a vocal critic of President Obamas decision to restore diplomatic relations with Cuba.
Rubio was also instrumental in crafting an immigration reform plan with the so-called "Gang of 8." But he has faced criticism from many Republicans for his involvement in the legislation.
