List of United States senators from Florida
Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Multiple image Florida was admitted to the Union on March 3, 1845, and elects its U.S. senators to class 1 and class 3. Florida's U.S. Senate seats were declared vacant in March 1861, due to its secession from the Union. They were filled again in July 1868. The state is currently represented by Rick Scott (serving since 2019) and Ashley Moody (serving since 2025). After Scott's 2018 election, Florida has been represented by two Republican senators for the first time since Reconstruction. Duncan U. Fletcher was Florida's longest-serving senator (1909–1936).
