The Governor of the State of Florida is an elected constitutional officer, the head of the executive branch and the highest state office in Florida. The governor is elected by popular election every four years. There is no lifetime limit on the number of times he or she may be elected, but a governor who has been elected to two consecutive terms must be out of office for at least one election cycle before being eligible once again for re-election.

When one political party holds the governor's office and a majority in both houses of the state legislature, the state is governed by a state government trifecta. Prior to the November 2016 elections, Florida was one of 23 Republican state government trifectas. Following the 2016 elections, Florida was one of 25 Republican state government trifectas. To see more information on trifecta changes in the 2016 election, click here.

Current officeholder

The 45th and current governor of Florida is Rick Scott (R). He was first elected in 2010. Scott won re-election in November 2014.

Before becoming governor, Scott ran Solantic Corporation, a network of Florida urgent care centers, which he co-founded in 2001. From 1997 to 2001, he owned a controlling share in America's Health Network, a media company later known as Discovery Health. He previously headed Columbia Hospital Corporation, a conglomeration of 340 hospitals, from its founding in 1987 to 1997. Scott holds a bachelor's degree in business administration from the University of Missouri at Kansas City and a J.D. from Southern Methodist University. He and his wife, Ann, have two daughters.

The state constitution establishes the office of the governor in Article IV, the Executive Department.

Florida Constitution, Article IV, Section 1

Qualifications

Per Article IV, Section 5 of the state constitution, the governor must be at least 30 years old and have been a resident and registered voter of Florida for at least seven years.

Florida Constitution, Article IV, Section 5

Florida elects governors in the midterm elections, that is, even years that are not presidential election years. For Florida, 2018, 2022, 2026, 2030 and 2034 are all gubernatorial election years. Legally, the gubernatorial inauguration is always set for the first Tuesday after the first Monday in the January following an election. The procedures for electing Florida's governor is laid out in Article IV, Section 5 of the Florida Constitution.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum (D) and former U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R) are vying for Florida's governorship, a seat Republicans have held since the 1998 election. Elections forecasters rate it as a "toss-up."

Gillum chose businessman Chris King, one of his opponents in the Democratic primary, as his running mate. DeSantis chose state Rep. Jeanette Nuñez (R) as his running mate.

The winner of this election will be involved in the state's redistricting process following the 2020 Census. Under Florida state law, the state Legislature is responsible for drawing new maps for U.S. House seats following the completion of the census. The governor has the power to veto these district map proposals. The governor does not have veto power over state legislative districts, which are also drawn by the state Legislature. Click here for more information on redistricting procedures.

Term limits

Florida governors are restricted to two consecutive terms in office, after which they must wait one term before being eligible to run again.

Florida Constitution, Article IV, Section 5

No person who has, or but for resignation would have, served as governor or acting governor for more than six years in two consecutive terms shall be elected governor for the succeeding term.

Partisan composition

The chart below shows the partisan breakdown of Florida governors from 1992 to 2013.

Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article IV, Section 3 of the Florida Constitution.

Whenever the governor is unable or unwilling to discharge the office, either temporarily or permanently, the lieutenant governor takes over all the duties of the governorship either until the governor is able to resume the office or until the next election.

At any time that the governor is on trial for impeachment, the lieutenant governor becomes the acting governor.

Additionally, at any time that three members of the cabinet and the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court agree on the governor's mental or physical unfitness for office, they may suspend and reinstate the governor, pursuant to § 3.

The Governor of Florida is the chief executive of Florida, and serves as chairman of the Florida cabinet. The governor has the power to execute Florida's laws and to call out the state militia to preserve the public peace, being commander-in-chief of the state's military forces that are not in active service of the United States. At least once every legislative session, the governor is required to deliver an address to the Florida Legislature, referred to as the "State of the State Address," regarding the condition and operation of the state government and to suggest new legislation. These primary duties are laid out in § 1 (a).

Additionally, the governor may initiate judicial action against state, county or municipal officer to enforce compliance with law and the duties of the individual's office, may request opinions and interpretations of constitutional matters from the members of the Florida Supreme Court, and may fill all vacancies in elected and appointed office where the law does not otherwise prescribe the method.

In March 2012, the Florida Legislature passed legislation that expanded the powers of the governor to include more oversight over agency rulemaking, members of local jobs agencies and the distribution of money used to recruit new business to relocate to Florida.

Other duties and privileges of the office include:

assigning official duties to the lieutenant governor, in addition to those set forth by law (§ 2).

casting a tie breaking vote when needed in cabinet matters

under § 4 (e), sitting as chair of the Florida Board of Administration, pursuant to Article IX, Section 16 of the Constitution of 1885, and which shall continue as a body at least for the life of Article XII, Section 9(c).

under § 4 (f), sitting as chair of the trustees of the internal improvement trust fund and the land acquisition trust fund

under § 4 (g),sitting as agency chair of the state Department of Law Enforcement

suspending and reinstating all officers, including militia officers, for any reason related to neglect, incompetence or inability of fulfill duties; the exception applies in cases of impeachment (§ 7).

excepting cases of treason and impeachment, suspend fines and grant reprieves, pardons, and clemency; by himself, the governor may suspend a fine for up to 60 days. For more substantial matters, two cabinet matters must concur (§ 8).

cooperating with the cabinet, making all necessary budget reductions in the event of a revenue shortfall (§ 13).

State budget

Role in state budget

The state operates on an annual budget cycle. The sequence of key events in the budget process is as follows:

1. In July of the year preceding the start of the new fiscal year, the governor sends budget instructions to state agencies.

2. In October agencies submit their budget requests to the governor.

3. Budget hearings are held with state agencies in September.

4. Public hearings are held in both September and January.

5. In February the governor submits his or her proposed budget to the state legislature.

6. The legislature adopts a budget in April or May, effective for the fiscal year beginning in July. A simple majority is required to pass a budget.

The governor is constitutionally and statutorily required to submit a balanced budget to the legislature. In turn, the legislature must pass a balanced budget, and any budget signed into law by the governor must be balanced.

Florida is one of 44 states in which the governor has line item veto authority.

Florida budgets three major funds: the General fund, the Major Special Revenue Fund and the Special Revenue Fund. Both the Major Special Revenue Fund and the Special Revenue Fund are comprised of lesser funds. The Major Special Revenue Fund is composed of three lesser funds, and the Special Revenue Fund is composed of about 19 to 20 lesser funds.

Governor's office budget

The budget for the Governor's Office in Fiscal Year 2013-2014 was $12,001,814.

Compensation

From 1992-2013, in Florida there were Democratic governors in office for 7 years while there were Republican governors in office for 14 years. Florida was under Republican trifectas for the last three years of the study period.

Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992 to 2013.

Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.

The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Florida, the Florida State Senate and the Florida House of Representatives from 1992 to 2013.

SQLI and partisanship

The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Florida state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. During the years studied, Florida achieved place in the top-10 in only one year (2007). The state had one Democratic trifecta in 1992, while it has had a Republican trifecta for a total of fourteen years. Florida's most precipitous drop in the SQLI ranking occurred between 2007 and 2008, when the state dropped from 8th to 19th. Florida also experienced a significant drop in the ranking between 2009 and 2010.

SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: 29.00

SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 19.00

SQLI average with divided government: 29.71

On election night 2000, television journalist Tim Russert - seeing the close margins in the Sunshine State -- famously told viewers that the contest was coming down to "Florida, Florida, Florida." Ever since that interminable recount was decided by the Supreme Court, Florida has refused to give up its prized position in presidential politics, attracting countless candidate visits and siding with the winner every time, by margins between just one and five percentage points.

More than 500 years ago, in March 1513, the Spanish conquistador Juan Ponce de León spied the coast of Florida. For the next 400 years, anyone sailing along Florida's 1,197 miles of coastline and 663 miles of beach would not have seen anything much different from what Ponce de Leon saw. But within the past century the state has been transformed, from a swampy, under-settled, mostly rural state of 1.5 million people (the smallest population in the South), to a metropolitan powerhouse of more than 20 million ...( read more)

Judge Kavanaugh has impeccable credentials, unsurpassed qualifications, and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law. ... There is no one in America more qualified for this position, and no one more deserving.
EXCEPTIONALLY QUALIFIED: Judge Kavanaugh's extensive experience and credentials make him one of the most exceptionally qualified Supreme Court nominees in history.

On the night of his nomination, USA Today reported that "[o]n paper ... Kavanaugh may be the most qualified Supreme Court nominee in generations."

The American Bar Association unanimously gave him its highest rating: well-qualified.

He has served on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, often called the Nation's "second highest court," for more than 12 years.

He has written more than 300 opinions and heard more than 2,000 cases.

At least 13 of his opinions have been vindicated by the Supreme Court-an unparalleled record of influence and success across the ideological spectrum.

He is a co-author of a leading book on judicial precedent and has published nine articles in respected academic law journals.

He has taught for more than a decade at the Nation's two top law schools, Yale and Harvard (where he was hired by then-Dean and now-Justice Elena Kagan).
The New York Times noted that his teaching evaluations reflect "glowing praise ... [m]ore than a few students said he was the most impressive law school professor they had ever encountered."

He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, who became a mentor.

He has argued before the Supreme Court.

He served more than five years in the White House, including as White House Staff Secretary and as Associate White House Counsel.

He was a partner at a respected law firm, where he wrote several Supreme Court briefs and also provided pro bono legal services to a range of clients.

He is a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, where he was an editor on law review.

INDEPENDENT AND IMPARTIAL: Judge Kavanaugh has a clear record as an independent and impartial arbiter of the law.

He bases his rulings on the law-not politics, policy, or the identities of the litigants.

He has ruled both for and against businesses, workers, environmentalists, landowners, civil-rights plaintiffs, political parties, and criminal defendants.

He ruled against the Republican National Committee in one campaign-finance case and in favor of Emily's List (a liberal pro-choice group) in another campaign-finance case.

He ruled in favor of a pro se African-American plaintiff who had been called the "n-word" at work, concluding that he had endured a hostile work environment.

He has ruled in favor of convicted drug dealers and murderers who were denied fair trials.

He has ruled in favor of environmentalist plaintiffs and the Environmental Protection Agency in some cases, and in favor of Western landowners and coal miners in others.

He ruled at least 23 times against Bush Administration agencies from 2006 to 2008.

His opinions are as likely to be joined in full by his Democrat-appointed colleagues (88.67 percent) as by his Republican-appointed colleagues (88.94 percent).
On at least 10 occasions, he has sided with a Democrat-appointed colleague over the dissent of a Republican-appointed colleague.

Chief United States Circuit Judge Garland (appointed by President Clinton and nominated for the Supreme Court by President Obama) has joined Judge Kavanaugh's majority opinions 96.43 percent of the time.

DEVOTED TO PRECEDENT: Judge Kavanaugh's work demonstrates a strong devotion to precedent and stability in the law.

He co-wrote a leading book on judicial precedent with 10 other judges.
The book explains that precedent is critical to stability in the law and "allows individuals to plan their affairs and to safely judge their legal rights."

He has written that it is "essential for courts to be as consistent as we possibly can."

His decisions have invoked stare decisis (the need to follow precedent).
In one opinion, he described an earlier decision as "wrongly decided," but said it was "water over the dam" because he was "bound to apply that precedent."

MODEL OF CHARACTER: Throughout his career, Judge Kavanaugh has proven to be a model of character, integrity, and public service.

His mother, a trailblazing prosecutor and trial judge in Maryland, inspired him to pursue a career in law.

He has spent 25 of the 28 years of his career in public service.

He tutors low-income students, serves meals to the homeless, and is a lector at church.

He coaches his daughters' basketball teams and serves as a mentor to his players.
The mother of one player described how Judge Kavanaugh has taken her daughter to the school's father-daughter dance every year since her husband passed away.

He is a leader for gender equality and for supporting women in the workplace.

More than half of the law clerks he has hired (25 of 48) are women.

He was the first D.C. Circuit Judge ever to hire an all-female class of law clerks.

Eighty-four percent of his female law clerks have gone on to clerk at the Supreme Court.

In a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee, his female law clerks called him "one of the strongest advocates in the federal judiciary for women lawyers" and said the legal profession is "fairer and more equal" because of him.

He is a leader in promoting racial equality and advancing minorities in the workplace.

He wrote a law review article about ending racial discrimination in jury selection.

He regularly visits the Yale and Harvard Black Law Students Association and has taken an active role in helping minority students obtain judicial clerkships.

Twenty-seven percent of the law clerks he has hired (13 of 48) are racial/ethnic minorities.

More than 10 percent of the law clerks he has hired (5 of 48) are African American-much greater than the percentage of African Americans at top law schools.

The term of one Florida Supreme Court justice will expire in January 2019. That justice must stand for retention by voters in 2018 in order to remain on the bench.

Justices Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente, and Peggy Quince did not file for retention in 2018. All three justices are required by law to retire because of Florida's mandatory judicial retirement age of 70. Florida's governor will name replacements for the three justices.

General election candidates

About the Florida Supreme Court

There are seven justices on the Florida Supreme Court. Justices are selected using the assisted appointment method, where the Governor of Florida chooses from a list of three to six candidates recommended by a commission on judicial appointments. Justices serve six-year terms. The appointment of a justice must be confirmed by a retention vote in the next general election at least one year after taking office.

Political composition

This is the political composition of the supreme court heading into the 2018 election. Justices on the Florida Supreme Court are appointed to their seats. Four of the seven justices were appointed by Republican governors: Charles Canady, Ricky Polston, Jorge Labarga, and C. Alan Lawson. Three of the seven justices were appointed by a Democratic governor: Fred Lewis, Barbara Pariente, and Peggy Quince.

The seven justices of the Florida Supreme Court are selected using the assisted appointment method. A judicial nominating commission screens potential judicial candidates, submitting a list of three to six nominees to the governor. The governor must appoint a justice from this list. If a midterm vacancy occurs, the seat is filled as it normally would be if the vacancy occurred at the end of a justice's term.

Newly appointed justices serve for at least one year, after which they appear in a yes-no retention election held during the next general election. If retained, justices serve six-year terms.

Qualifications

To serve on the supreme court, a justice must be:

a qualified elector;

a state resident;

admitted to practice law in the state for 10 years prior to assuming the bench; and

under the age of 70.

Selection of the chief justice

The chief justice is selected by peer vote. He or she serves in that capacity for two years.
