Current officeholders
State legislative officeholder from OpenStates nightly current-legislator data.
District 82 recorded an R+36.0 presidential margin in 2024, placing it among Florida's most lopsided legislative seats. That kind of spread typically reflects a rural or exurban electorate with unusually low ticket-splitting rates.
Across the recorded series it reached a Democratic high of 65.6 points in 1924 and a Republican high of 56.1 points in 1972. Between 2020 and 2024 the district moved 14.1 points toward the Republican candidate; the 2024 margin was 36.0 points.
A population of 183,534, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $79,307 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of State House District 31 and State House District 77.
