OCALA, Fla. -- An Ocala lawmaker says, if another big-name republican does not run against Alan Grayson for his 8th Congressional District Seat, he might enter the race.

Republican State Representative Kurt Kelly announced Wednesday, if the GOP doesn't find a suitable candidate from the Orlando area, he will seriously consider challenging Grayson.

Seven other candidates have already entered the race.

Kelly currently represents District 24 in the Florida house.
