2022 Florida Senate election
Remove ads

The 2022 elections for the Florida State Senate took place on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, to elect state senators from all 40 districts. Although on ordinary years, 20 senators are elected at a time on a staggered basis, races following redistricting elect all 40 members to ensure that each member represents an equal number of constituents.[1] The Republican Party expanded their Senate majority from 24 to 28, gaining a supermajority in the Senate.[2] The concurrently held House elections also resulted in a supermajority, giving Republicans supermajority control of the legislature.

Notes

  1. In 14 districts, the general election was canceled because one candidate was running unopposed. As a result, these vote totals do not represent how many voters supported each party in the general election.
  2. Grall's seat is labeled as a gain while Osgood's and Book's are not because Osgood and Book were redistricted incumbent senators, while Grall was newly elected to the senate.
  3. Key:
    A – all adults
    RV – registered voters
    LV – likely voters
    V – unclear
