As CNN pointed out on Monday, Fiorina described her Virginia roots to local Virginia radio program the John Fredricks Show, saying she stumped for a number of Virginia candidates during the 2016 campaign.
Asked directly about a potential 2018 run in Virginia, the former CEO said that although she hadn't made up her mind, she was examining her options.
"I'm certainly looking at that opportunity. It's a little early - we're two weeks into a new administration," Fiorina said.
A source close to Fiorina told Business Insider they were unfamiliar with any serious discussion of a potential run.
Over the past decade, the former HP CEO ran a number of unsuccessful political campaigns.
After dropping out of the Republican presidential primary in 2016, she became Sen. Ted Cruz's short-lived vice presidential running mate before he dropped out of the Republican presidential primary after the Indiana primary.
A Virginia bid would mark her second run for a US Senate seat. In 2010, she ran as a moderate conservative in California, but lost to former Sen. Barbara Boxer.
