Florida's congressional delegations

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since Florida became a U.S. state in 1845, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives. Each state elects two senators to serve for six years, and members of the House to two-year terms. Before becoming a state, the Florida Territory elected a non-voting delegate at-large to Congress from 1822 to 1845.

These are tables of congressional delegations from Florida to the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives.
