State representatives are elected to two-year terms on even-numbered years and work alongside the governor to create laws and establish Florida’s budget. State representatives can serve a maximum of four terms, or a total of eight years.

The Florida Constitution requires that a representative be at least 21, a resident of the district from which they’re elected and a resident of Florida for two years prior to election, according to MyFloridaHouse.gov.
