In 2020, the Florida Democratic Party has state legislative nominees in every district except one, the State House 5th district seat. Every election year, Florida has 20 State Senate races and 120 State House races. Sometimes there is a special election or two as well, but this post excludes them.

This is the first year since 1994 that there have been more Democratic nominees for the Florida legislature than Republican nominees for the legislature. In addition, it is easily the most impressive Florida Democratic slate of legislative candidates for the period 1994 to the present. Normally, because Florida filing fees are so high, the Democratic Party always fails to run legislative nominees in dozens of districts. Out of the 140 districts, here are the number of races with no Democratic nominee in the past: 1994 33; 1996 38; 1998 56; 2000 37; 2002 68; 2004 66; 2006 55; 2008 39; 2010 45; 2012 59; 2014 53; 2016 50; 2018 12.

Obviously the Democratic Party of Florida this year made an effort to virtually fill its legislative tickets. This year the Florida Republican Party lacks legislative nominees in 26 districts.

This year, there are two Libertarian legislative nominees on the ballot, and 14 independent candidates.
