Florida’s $8.56-per-hour minimum wage will be raised to $10 per hour effective September 30, 2021. The wage will increase by $1 per year until it reaches $15 per hour in 2026. From that point forward, the wage will be adjusted annually for inflation. FHBA had publicly opposed Amendment Two. Florida Senate Last night, 21 Florida Senate races were on the ballot. Of those 21 Senate Races, FHB PAC supported 17 candidates. As of 9:30 a.m. this morning (November 4, 2020), all 17 candidates won their respective races. The Republicans flipped one seat for a new 24-16 Republican Senate Majority in 2021. However, Senate District 37 (Senator Jose Javier Rodriguez-D 48.52% and Ileana Garcia-R 48.53%) was decided by a mere 121 votes (out of 215,411 total votes). This one is not over and is headed for a recount. Additional key Senate Majority and FHBPAC supported candidates: Former Representative ✓Jason Brodeur (R), Representative ✓Ana Maria Rodriguez, and Former Representative ✓Danny Burgess all won handily in their respective Senatorial races (Senate Districts 9, 20, and 39). FHBPAC-supported Representative ✓Loranne Ausley (D) held off Marvin Preston (R) with 53% to replace former Senator Bill Montford (D) in Senate District 3. Detailed election results can be found below. Florida House The FHB PAC contributed to 59 contested Florida House races that were decided yesterday evening. That number does not include Representatives Dan Daley (D) HD 97; Tracie Davis (D) HD 13; nor Dianne Hart (D) HD 61 – as those races had already been won heading into the General Election. Note: The FHB PAC also supported newcomer and former Parkland Mayor Christine Hunschofsky (D) in HD 96 – a race that was uncontested in the General Election. A friend of Representative and FHBA Member Dan Daley, Christine will be a great asset to the Florida House. Overall, the Democrats had a significantly weaker showing than in the 2018 midterms/gubernatorial election. Losing House Districts 69, 72, 84, 103, and 114 to Republicans for a projected new House Republican Majority of 78-42. Of the 59 contested Florida House races, FHB PAC walked away with 58 of them (98.3%), the sole lose coming from incumbent Jennifer Webb in HD 69. House Majority made it a priority to flip House District 69 after losing the seat following former Representative Kathleen Peters (R) departure from the Legislature in 2018. Linda Chaney (R) defeated Representative Jennifer Webb (D) by nearly five thousand votes. Detailed results of FHBPAC-supported candidates can be found on the following pages. However, below are a few key bullets/highlights: • Big gambles pay off for the PAC: FHBPAC-supported ✓Fred Hawkins (R) wins with 46.83% to Barbara Ann Cady’s (D) 45.66% (a third-party candidate took 7.51% of the vote).
