Nina Turner, a top surrogate to Sen. Bernie Sanders, is reportedly eyeing the House seat in Ohio currently held by Rep. Marcia Fudge, whom President-elect Joe Biden is believed to be considering for housing secretary.

“I have encouraged her to run if the seat is open as that is her congressional district and she would have the immediate support of the national Bernie movement,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a fellow former Sanders campaign co-chair, told Politico. “She’d be a fantastic ally for the movement in Congress.”

Turner, a former Ohio state senator, wouldn’t commit to running when contacted by Politico.

“Currently, there is no vacancy in the district and if it becomes vacant, things will unfold as they should,” she said.

Turner said she has been pressed to run.

“Well, there’s been an outcry for me to at least consider it. You know, I’m a public servant through and through, but I’m just going to leave it there for now,” she said.

The 53-year-old Turner served as a state senator from 2008 to 2014 and previously held a seat on the Cleveland City Council.

If Biden decides not to tap Fudge for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, she’s still likely to nab a cabinet position.

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC), whose early support for Biden boosted his campaign before the Super Tuesday primary elections last spring, has pushed for Fudge, a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, to be part of the cabinet.

“Look for her to be in the cabinet,” Clyburn told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Turner has the backing of left-wing activists and numerous elected officials, the report said, and she could rely on the relationships she has with the Vermont senator’s inner circle.

Progressive Rep.-elect Cori Bush (D-Mo.), also a former Sanders surrogate, said it “would be a dream to work alongside her in Congress.”

Heather Gautney, a former senior Sanders aide, said everyone is encouraging Turner to “do it, do it, do it.”

“I think she is being measured in her evaluation of the situation, but those around her are super excited about it,” she said.

Politico noted there are at least six other potential candidates for the congressional seat.

If Fudge does take a cabinet position, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine would have to set a date for a special election to fill the vacancy.
