Florida Democrats will run candidates in all state legislative races for first time in three decades

The Florida Democratic Party announced Friday that they have fielded a candidate for each of the 140 state House and state Senate seats up for election in November, as they aim to stop Florida from its increasingly rightward shift.

All 120 state House seats and 20 state Senate seats up for grabs in November will have a Democratic candidate on the ballot for the first time in nearly three decades, according to the party. Republicans currently have a supermajority in both chambers of the Sunshine State’s legislature and have maintained control of both chambers since the 1990s.
