Mucarsel-Powell is not a candidate for the "Florida Senate".

Try 'She is a Florida candidate for the Senate' (when no state is written adjacent to "Senate", the US Senate is always implied).

Or 'Obama endorsed Florida candidate Mucarsel-Powell for the US Senate.' Essentially the same number of words but it is clear and free of cognitive ambiguity.
