In 2009, Clifford had considered challenging the second term bid of [[Republican Party|Republican]] former [[U.S. Senator]] [[David Vitter]] in her native [[Louisiana]]. She was soon nabbed for domestic violence against her second husband, Michael "Mike" Mozbor, which allegedly stemmed from a dispute about the household laundry at their then residence in [[Tampa]], [[Florida]]. She was booked for having struck Mozbor on the head several times with her own hands. Daniels used the slogan "Stormy Daniels: Screwing People Honestly," a reference to Vitter's admission and apology for having patronized a [[prostitution]] ring. <ref name=sgun>{{cite web |url=http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2009/0729093stormy1.html |title=Stormy Relationship |accessdate=October 18, 2009 |date=July 29, 2009 |publisher=''The Smoking Gun''}}</ref> However, Daniels never filed for the Senate, and Vitter won re-nomination over a Republican judge and then defeated the [[Democratic Party|Democrat]] [[Charlie Melancon]] in the [[general election]].However, in 2015, Vitter ran for [[governor]] of Louisiana and lost by a considerable margin to the Democrat [[John Bel Edwards]], who still holds that position. Vitter did not seek a third Senate term in 2016 and was succeeded by fellow Republican and former opponent [[John Neely Kennedy]].
