RSLC Statement: Republicans Hold Florida State Legislature Despite National Democrats Targeting the Sunshine State
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Democrats claimed Florida was going to be competitive this election cycle, yet Florida voters made it loud and clear state Republicans deserve to keep their supermajorities in both chambers of the state legislature.
“While Democrats claimed Florida was in play this cycle, voters proved them wrong by keeping the state legislature deep red in Tallahassee,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “Floridians have seen firsthand that when the federal government fails to do its job, a Republican-controlled legislature along with a Republican Governor like Ron DeSantis will push back with commonsense legislation that cuts taxes, supports law enforcement, expands school choice, and enacts border security. The RSLC was proud to invest in state legislative races in Florida and we are excited to see the GOP supermajorities continue to work alongside Governor DeSantis and continue to provide a better way of life for Floridians.”
In January, the RSLC named Florida as a top target state to defend its supermajorities while Democrats announced they would invest to dismantle them. The RSLC invested a total of over $8 million in state legislative races in Florida this cycle as part of their $38 million plan to defend and grow Republican legislatures nationally.
