Sink, the state's former chief financial officer, confirmed her decision on Twitter and in a statement quoted by media outlets. &quot;While I am not running for office in 2014, I will keep an open dialogue with all of you and continue to seek new ways to serve,&quot; she said on Twitter. Sink lost the special election in Florida's 13th Congressional District by less than 2 percent of the vote to David Jolly, a former Republican lobbyist in Washington, D.C. Jolly once worked for the Representative C.W. Bill Young, whose death forced the special election in March.</p><br clear="all"/>
