2068 United States Senate election in Florida



The 2068 United States Senate election in Florida was held on Tuesday, November 6, 2068, concurrently with other federal and local elections, including for the United States presidency. The Greens and Republicans both nominated Cody Dell, a member of Orlando's city council. Even though Dell's official party registration was for the Green Party, he decided to also run in the Republican primary, as was legal in Florida law at the time, and won a plurality, putting him on the ballot under both the Green and Republican parties. Discontent with Dell's nomination among some Republicans caused a significant undervote in the general election compared to the concurrent presidential election in the state. An independent conservative candidate named Everly Kimbrough, a prominent businesswoman, decided to run after Dell's nomination for the Republican ticket.

In the general election, Cody Dell won in a landslide, obtaining 58.33% of the vote in total and 49.25% of the vote via the Green ticket. The Democratic candidate Lamine Keita came in second, obtaining 32.73% of the vote, and Kimbrough came in third with 8.52%.

This was one of very few elections in American history in which a Green Party candidate was pitted against a Democratic candidate without much Republican Party influence, due to Dell's nomination on both the Green and Republican tickets. It was also one of the first major Green Party victories in a statewide election.
