Florida is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map
After years of unchecked Republican power, 2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in red states all across the country, including breaking the toxic GOP supermajorities in the Florida House and Senate. Â
Across both chambers, 9 Democratic flips will end the GOP supermajorities and give Florida Democrats more leverage to fight against the extreme Republican leadership in the state.Â
Florida’s GOP supermajorities have recklessly rubber-stamped Trump’s disastrous agenda, turned a blind eye to the insurance crisis, cut Medicaid access for seniors, and demolished economic opportunity for Floridians.
Florida Republicans rushed to pass their gerrymandered maps in April with no input from voters. Breaking the supermajorities would weaken the GOP’s power ahead of 2030 redistricting.
The DLCC will be targeting competitive races across the state and sharing more info on DLCC Target Races in Florida soon.
DLCC Target Races
DLCC Target Candidate Rep. Emily Gregory is one of August's Top 10 Races
Rep. Emily Gregory is a small business owner from Jupiter who pulled off a stunning upset victory to flip her district blue and is running for reelection this fall to serve a full term in the Florida House.
Emily Gregory shares a message on being designated a Top 10 Race:
Redistricting Update
GOP control of the legislature has allowed Republicans to draw aggressive gerrymanders that have kept state Democrats out of power for roughly 30 years. Republicans could weaponize Callais to remove Democratic congressional representation altogether in the state, on the heels of their gerrymandering gambit earlier this year.
The DLCC is aiming to break the Republican supermajority in both chambers in 2026. While this won’t challenge the Republican trifecta in the state, every seat flipped matters and is part of the DLCC’s long-term work to build power in the South.
After flipping two state legislative seats earlier this year, we are now just 7 seats away from breaking the House supermajority and 2 seats away from breaking the Senate supermajority. Since the legislature controls the redistricting process, the balance of power in the statehouse is crucial.
