Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) tweeted on Tuesday to point out a possible resemblance between Miss Florida 2010, who was visiting his Senate office, and his daughter, Nan Ellen.

"Some folks tell me Miss Florida looks a lot like … who?" he said, linking to a page on his Senate website that displayed photos of the two. 

"It's a tradition for the reigning Miss Florida to visit the state's senators," a release explains. "But it wasn’t until after the meeting with Nelson that some on the senator’s staff noted what they thought was a striking resemblance between Miss Florida ... and Nelson's daughter Nan Ellen (below)."

It added, "Nelson wasn't so sure that they're such look-alikes, but said he's mighty proud of both Floridians."

Jaclyn Raulerson, or Miss Florida, is a student at the University of Central Florida. Nelson, formerly a coordinator with the Peace Corps, runs a leadership training firm.
