Republicans Solidify Control as Florida GOP Establishes Historic 10-Point Voter Registration Lead
The political landscape of Florida has undergone a dramatic transformation, as the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) announced a historic milestone in voter registration, establishing a record-setting 10-point lead over Democrats.
The GOP now holds a statewide advantage of over 1.35 million registered voters, a stark contrast to just five years ago when Democrats had a 250,000-voter lead. This unprecedented shift solidifies Florida's position as a reliably Republican state.

For years, Democrats relied on populous, traditionally blue counties to maintain their influence. That strategy has been upended.
The RPOF has made significant gains in key areas, including a 37,000-voter edge in Miami-Dade County -- a longtime Democratic stronghold -- and a 2.15-point lead in Hillsborough County. The party's message of "safer communities, stronger schools, and economic growth" is resonating with voters across the state, even in regions once considered off-limits.
Evan Power, Chairman of the RPOF, celebrated the historic achievement, stating, "Florida Republicans are on the march. Our grassroots leaders and volunteers are delivering historic results, and voters are responding to our vision." Power also highlighted the party's continued expansion, noting that Democrats are now on the defensive in Duval and Palm Beach counties.

"This fight is far from over, but make no mistake -- Florida is red, and we're only getting stronger," he added.
The shift is a culmination of sustained efforts by the RPOF and reflects a broader trend of voters aligning with the Republican platform.
The party's ability to mobilize voters and attract new registrants in diverse and growing areas of the state suggests a fundamental realignment in Florida's political demographics. With a robust voter registration advantage and momentum on their side, Florida Republicans are poised to maintain their dominance for the foreseeable future.
