Florida 2020 Election Results — MultiState Elections

Florida held its general election on November 3, 2020, deciding 140 legislative seats. No chamber changed party control.

Highlights

Republicans widened their majorities in both chambers, and all 6 legislative seats that changed hands went from Democrats to Republicans.
In the House, Republicans unseated three Democratic incumbents and won two open Democratic seats:
- Linda Chaney (R) beat Jennifer Webb (D) in House District 69 by about 5 points.
- Dana Trabulsy (R) beat Delores Hogan Johnson (D) in District 84 by about 6.
- Tom Fabricio (R) beat Cindy Polo (D) in District 103 by about 8.
- Fiona McFarland (R) won District 72 and Demi Busatta Cabrera (R) won District 114, each by about 9 points; both seats were left open when the Democratic incumbents ran for other offices.
The Senate's only flip, in Miami-Dade's Senate District 37, was decided by a few dozen votes: Ileana Garcia (R) unseated Democratic Sen. Jose Javier Rodriguez, who conceded after a hand recount. A no-party candidate who shared his last name, Alex Rodriguez (NPA), drew far more votes than the margin. Prosecutors later charged former Republican Sen. Frank Artiles with paying Alex Rodriguez to enter the race, and a jury found Artiles guilty of most of the charges in 2024.
Beyond the flips, 2 legislative races finished inside two points: Andrew Learned (D) kept House District 59 in Democratic hands, and Fred Hawkins (R) won a three-way race in District 42. Separately, 25 legislative seats had no November opponent.
Voters approved 4 of 6 constitutional amendments. Amendment 2 phases the minimum wage up to $15 an hour by 2026, making Florida the first Southern state to adopt a $15 wage, even as it voted for President Trump. Amendment 1 (only citizens may vote), Amendment 5 (a longer window to carry Save Our Homes benefits to a new home), and Amendment 6 (a homestead discount for surviving spouses of veterans) also passed. The 2 that failed were Amendment 3, a top-two open primary for state offices, and Amendment 4, which would have required amendments to pass at two elections.
