How to Contact your Federal and Florida State Elected Senators and Representatives

 FLORIDA SENATORS are elected  by the citizens of Florida to represent them and the geographical area (district) where they live. Each member of the Senate must live in the district that he or she represents. Senators are elected to serve four-year terms. Currently, 40 Senators serve the people of Florida. Each Senator is elected for a four-year term. He or she may be elected for more than one term, but may not seek reelection if, at the end of the current term, the Senator would have served in that office for eight consecutive years.

To identify your Florida State Senator, visit FLSENATE.GOV.

 FLORIDA REPRESENTATIVES are elected by citizens of Florida and serve two-year terms and are limited to four terms. The House is composed of 120 members, each elected from a single-member district with a population of approximately 180,000 residents. Legislative districts are drawn on the basis of population figures, provided by the federal decennial census.

 To identify your Florida State Representative, visit FLHOUSE.GOV.
