State Legislatures 1993-2017

[Republican Michigander]

Somewhat interesting that Florida was the first Southern legislature to go Republican, considering that it was the most Democratic at the presidential level in 2000 and 2004.  I guess the influx of Northerners that made it one of the more GOP-friendly Southern states initially would eventually make it one of the more liberal (in presidential elections) in the 1990s and 2000s.

Florida Gulf Coast has a lot of Midwestern transplants who are largely center-right (Tampa area south to Naples).
