State Rep. Dan Winslow exploring US Senate run

State Representative Daniel B. Winslow, a Norfolk Republican, formed an exploratory committee Tuesday and said he is “99 percent” sure that he will run for US Senate in the special election to replace John F. Kerry.

Winslow could be one of two candidates on the Republican side, joining Gabriel Gomez, a businessman and former Navy SEAL who is meeting with senior GOP officials as he explores a run. Many of the more well-known figures in the party, including former senator Scott Brown and former lieutenant governor Kerry Healey, have taken themselves out of consideration.
