About our Florida Senate news

Latest news on Florida Senate seats, tracking current senators Rick Scott (R) and Ashley Moody (R-designate), elections, appointments, and key legislative updates from the Sunshine State

Florida's two Senate seats have seen significant changes in 2025, with Rick Scott (R) continuing to serve and Ashley Moody (R) designated to fill the seat vacated by Marco Rubio, who resigned on 20 January 2025 to become US Secretary of State. The state's senatorial representation plays a crucial role in national politics, representing over 22 million Floridians.

The most recent development occurred when Marco Rubio was unanimously confirmed as Secretary of State, leading to his resignation from the Senate. Governor Ron DeSantis has appointed Ashley Moody to fill the vacancy, with a special election scheduled for 2026 to determine who will complete the remainder of Rubio's term. Meanwhile, Rick Scott secured re-election in 2024, extending his tenure in the Senate.

Florida's Senate seats have historically attracted significant public attention and campaign spending, reflecting the state's status as a crucial battleground in national politics. The state's rapid population growth and changing demographics continue to influence its senatorial elections, with candidates addressing issues ranging from environmental conservation to economic development.

Since joining the Union in 1845, Florida has been represented by notable senators including Duncan U. Fletcher, who served the longest term (1909-1936), and David Levy Yulee, who became the first Jewish senator in US history. The state's Senate seats were briefly vacant during the Civil War period (1861-1868) when Florida seceded from the Union, resuming representation during Reconstruction.

Our NewsNow feed provides continuous coverage of Florida's Senate activities, including legislative initiatives, voting records, and campaign developments. Whether you're interested in policy decisions, electoral politics, or the broader impact of Florida's senators on national legislation, our comprehensive coverage keeps you informed about this vital aspect of American democracy.
