Florida State and Local Government

NOTE re: elections to the LEGISLATURE

Florida elects half its 40-member State Senate every two years, State Senators so elected to four-year terms (except in the election held two years after a Federal Decennial Census, when the entire State Senate is up for election, so as to better facilitate redistricting: half the Senators elected in such a calendar year of a Federal Decennial Census are elected for but two years and the same State Senators are up for election for another two years in the next General Election, that is: the one taking place two years after said Federal Census).

In 2008, State Senators representing odd-numbered districts will be up for election for four-year terms; State Senators representing even-numbered districts were elected to their current four-year terms in 2006 and will next be up for election (for two-year terms) in 2010.

The entire 120-member House of Representatives will be up for election to two-year terms in 2008.

Notes

Candidates for office appear on this page in italics where 'The Green Papers' does not yet have independent confirmation from a legal election authority that the person has been officially certified to appear on the ballot.

"FEC" indicates the Federal Election Commission (FEC) Campaign Finance Summary.

When available, we post each candidate's FEC identification number, the date of their most recently filed Report of Receipts and Disbursements, their "Tot" [Total Receipts (contributions received or what came in: FEC Form 3, Line 16, Column B)] and their "Dsb" [Total Disbursements (expenditures or what was spent: FEC Form 3, Line 23, Column B)]. A link is provided to the Federal Election Commission's Summary Report for those who might wish to explore the details.

If a candidate raises or spends $5,000 or less, he or she is not subject to FEC reporting requirements.
