Florida Election Cycle
2009-2010
Florida’s 2010 Election Cycle is developing into one of the most active campaign seasons in the State’s history.
Florida Governor Charlie Crist (NPA) has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Mel Martinez (R) and thus, will not seek reelection as Governor. Governor Crist appointed his former chief of staff, George LeMieux (R) to serve out the rest of Martinez’s Senate term. Senator LeMieux
(R) already has announced that he will not seek election to the seat once his term ends in November 2010. However, it is rumored that he will challenge
incumbent U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) in November 2012. The decision of Governor Crist to run for U.S. Senate will cause all four Florida Cabinet positions to
be open for the first time in 120 years. Florida’s Cabinet comprises the positions of Governor, Attorney General, Chief Financial Officer and Commissioner of
Agriculture and Consumer Services.
A number of State Legislators have vacated their respective House and Senate seats in the quest for these open Cabinet posts, causing a political “domino”
effect. In addition to those lawmakers seeking Cabinet seats, a number of Representatives are leaving their seats to run for the Senate. These factors, plus a
large number of legislators facing term limits, creates a year where more than three-quarters of Florida’s Legislature will be on the 2010 ballot. Collectively,
these prevailing factors are expected to produce high levels of campaign activity throughout Florida. Yet, with Florida’s qualifying date still a month away,
these races are expected to continue changing between now and then.
Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky & Abate hopes you will find this report informative and will be able to use it as a tool to follow Florida’s 2010 election cycle.
We will report on races across the state for Cabinet and State Legislative races, as well as Florida’s United States Senate and Congressional races. These
reports will be provided following significant campaign activity, such as:

Republican Party of Florida
Former Oviedo City Council member Jim Greer had been the Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (“RPOF”) since 2006. Greer announced his
resignation after he received criticism from a group of elected officials, party leaders and major donors. The criticism surrounded excessive spending and his
public endorsement of Governor Crist in the U.S. Senate Primary against former Florida House Speaker Marco Rubio (R).
Former Speaker of the House and current State Senator John Thrasher (R) was appointed as the new chair of the RPOF. He was challenged by National
Committeewoman Sharon Day, but won the vote with a large majority.
Florida Democratic Party
Former Congresswoman Karen Thurman has been the elected Chair of the Florida Democratic Party since 2005. From 1993-2003, she represented Florida's 5th
Congressional District and was only the sixth woman to serve on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee in its 200-plus year history.
Thurman first became involved with government in her hometown of Dunnellon. While working as a math teacher at Dunnellon Middle School, her students
encouraged her to run for a vacant seat on the Dunnellon City Council. She won that race and went on to serve seven years on the Council, including two terms
as mayor. In 1982, at the age of 31, she won her election to the Florida State Senate.
The Republican and Democratic parties have the ability to raise “soft” money without contribution limits. This money can be spent on either Cabinet or
Legislative races. Below we have included the 2010 First Quarter totals for soft money raised.

2010 Florida Cabinet Candidates
In December of 2008, U.S. Senator Mel Martinez (R) announced he would not seek re-election, thus opening his seat for the 2010 election cycle and initiating a
“domino” effect throughout Florida for the imminent campaign season. Governor Crist’s (NPA) subsequent decision to not seek re-election and run for the U.S.
Senate led to Attorney General Bill McCollum (R) leaving his position to be the Republican Nominee for Governor. Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink (D) also
announced she would be vacating her position to be the Democratic Party gubernatorial candidate. Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services
Charlie Bronson (R) is term-limited, which leaves his Cabinet seat open as well.

The Florida Senate
The Florida Senate comprises 40 Districts, which are currently occupied by 26 Republicans and 14 Democrats who all serve four-year terms. In 2010, all evennumbered districts will be on the ballot for re-election, with the addition of a few odd seats due to some Senators having left during mid-term for various
reasons. A total of 14 seats are open, nine of those because of term limits and the remaining five as a result of the aforementioned statewide “domino effect.”
District 2 – Currently occupied by Senator Durell Peaden Jr. (R), who is term-limited, this Panhandle seat includes parts of Escambia, Bay, Holmes, Okaloosa,
Santa Rosa, Walton and Washington counties.

U.S. Senate
Florida Governor Charlie Crist (NPA) has announced he will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Mel Martinez (R) and thus, will not seek reelection as Governor. Governor Crist (NPA) appointed his former chief of staff, George LeMieux (R) to serve out the rest of Martinez’s term. Senator LeMieux
has already announced that he will not seek election to the seat once his term ends in November 2010. However, it is rumored that Senator LeMieux (R) will
challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Bill Nelson (D) in November 2012.
On April 29, 2010, Governor Crist announced he would run for the Senate as an Independent, breaking with the Republican Party and setting up a three-way
battle for the General Election. The decision came after polling numbers indicated Crist had gone from the primary favorite to trailing his Republican primary
opponent, Marco Rubio (R) by double digits.
