Florida

Senate: GOP Supermajority

12D
1 seats empty or independent
27R

House: GOP Supermajority

34D
85R

Florida is on the DLCC’s 2026 Target Map.

2026 is a historic opportunity to build power in red states all across the country, including ending the GOP’s unchecked power in the Florida House and Senate.

Across both chambers, nine Democratic flips will end the GOP supermajorities and give Florida Democrats more leverage to fight against the extreme Republican leadership in the state. 

Florida Republicans have used their power to turn a blind eye to the insurance crisis, gut health care access, demolish economic opportunity for Floridians, and attack voting rights. This spring, Florida Republicans passed a version of the SAVE Act to make it harder to vote and rushed to further gerrymander their congressional maps just months before the election.

Meet the DLCC’s Florida Target Race Candidates

With 2026 setting a historic opportunity to build power in red states all across the country, the DLCC is launching 17 Target Races to break the toxic GOP supermajorities in the Florida House and Senate. 

The DLCC is working directly with the Florida House and Senate Democratic caucus to deliver support and resources to maximize Democrats’opportunities to flip seats and weaken the GOP’s chokehold on power.

DLCC Target Races

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.
