Rich Reidy, chief aide to Hillsborough County Commissioner Ken Hagan, will run for the Florida House district that includes much of the northern and northwest areas of the county.
Reidy, 51, of Lutz, will run as a Republican for District 47, a seat being vacated by Kevin Ambler of Tampa. Ambler, also a Republican, must give up the seat because of term limits. The district includes Lutz, Carrollwood, Odessa, Citrus Park, Keystone, Northdale and Lake Magdalene.
"Serving in the commissioner's office has been a privilege and a pleasure," he said. "I hope to continue to work for the citizens here up in Tallahassee."
A native of New Jersey, Reidy has lived in the Tampa area for 13 years.
Reidy has a bachelor's degree in exercise and movement science from William Patterson University in Wayne, N.J., and a certification in public management from the University of South Florida graduate school.
