Florida candidates, in their own words.

See the races we cover and what each candidate says, quoted word for word from their own campaign sites, with a link to every source. The same questions and the same rules for every candidate. No ZIP, no account, no agenda.

Statewide races

Every Florida voter gets these, whatever your ZIP and whatever party you’re registered with — including no party at all.

Party codes, as the ballot prints them: REP, Republican Party of Florida; DEM, Florida Democratic Party; LPF, Libertarian Party of Florida; NPA, no party affiliation.

Ballot questions

These are on every Florida ballot, whatever your ZIP. Each needs a supermajority to pass, not a simple majority.

Add your U.S. House race

Your U.S. House race isn’t in the list above, because it depends on where you live. Give us your ZIP and we’ll add it — or skip it and read the rest. We use it to find your district and keep only the district itself, never your ZIP.

Full statewide coverage isn’t available yet. Every Florida voter gets the statewide races and amendments; U.S. House and county races are only for Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orange counties so far.

What this guide covers

Every Florida voter
5 statewide races (4 with a full brief so far) and 3 amendments, the same for everyone, whatever your ZIP or party.
Miami-Dade, Broward, Hillsborough and Orange counties
The U.S. House races, and the county commission, school board, Orange County mayor and Orange County clerk races. Add your ZIP above for your House race. Your county’s sample ballot says which commission and school board seats are yours.
Not covered
Florida House and Florida Senate seats, judges (retention questions and other judicial races), county and city ballot questions, city races, special districts such as soil and water conservation and community development districts, and local races in other counties. Your county Supervisor of Elections has your official sample ballot. What we don’t cover

Every candidate in a race we cover gets the same questions and the same rules. How we stay fair
