Mary Beth Carozza is jumping into the State Senate race.

She made the announcement on Sunday at Ocean City Elementary School, a school that she attended as a child.

Prior to that, she had worked as a staffer for several Congressional Republicans.

Carozza is an Ocean City native and said she is looking forward to representing her hometown.
