Election Results: See Where Newly-Elected Lawmakers Stand on the Issues

While Election Day is behind us, our duty as faithful citizens to ensure our elected officials recognize and protect the life and dignity of all people continues. 

Serving Florida at the federal level, Marco Rubio (R) will be returning to Washington, DC as a U.S. Senator. 16 of our U.S. Representatives in Congress will be Republicans, while 11 will be Democrats; 10 of 27 will be new to Congress this term. At the state level in Tallahassee, both the Senate and House will maintain Republican majorities. The Senate make-up will be 25-15, with the Florida House at 78-41 (with one race undergoing a recount still undecided). Click here to view Florida's election results.

In the weeks prior to the election, the FCCB conducted the Candidate Questionnaire Project (CQP) to assist Catholics and the broader community with the obligation to become informed voters. Now that the votes are tallied, we encourage you to return to the FCCB's CQP webpage to view the positions of candidates who won their races and responded to our survey.

As we get to know our new lawmakers at both the state and federal level, let us pray for wisdom and guidance for those elected to serve - as well as the electorate - as we strive to find common ground and work together towards the common good.
