The Florida House Democratic Caucus has chosen Representative Christine Hunschofsky (D- Parkland) as their Leader Designate-Elect for the 2027-28 term. She currently serves as the Democratic Whip, and as Democratic ranking member on the Infrastructure Strategies Committee and Insurance & Banking Committee.
Representative Hunschofsky was first elected to the House in 2020. Prior to that, she served on the Parkland City Commission, and was mayor during the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting.
Following two terms (4 years) with Leader Fentrice Driskell (D- Tampa) at the helm, Representative Hunschofsky will take over election operations for the caucus starting in 2025, and will lead the House Democrats for the 2026 and 2027 legislative sessions.
“I am profoundly honored to accept the role of Leader Designate-Elect for the Florida House Democrats. I am humbled that my colleagues have placed their trust in me to lead. With the hard work of our dedicated caucus, we will uphold the trust bestowed upon us by our constituents to build a brighter future for all Floridians,” said Representative Hunschofsky in a press release.
“I am proud that when I am done, I will pass the torch to Representative Hunschofsky. Christine has demonstrated a commitment to building on what we’ve started,” added Leader Fentrice Driskell. “When I leave, I know that the caucus will continue on the course we have charted. We will continue to look towards the future, where the solid foundation we’re building today will be the launchpad for future success.”
“The Florida House Democrats will always advocate for the people of Florida and their freedom to be healthy, prosperous, and safe,” concluded Driskell.
