Gubernatorial Election in Florida

In the following essay I will be talking about the disadvantages and advantages of partisan elections for state politics. I will also examine the last couple year's election results and costs. Finally, I will discuss if partisanship made a difference in the vote, as well as if a judge should be decided by partisan vote. In the next couple paragraphs I will talk more specifically about these topics.

That being said, the state of Florida, being a southern state, may be expected to be a traditionalistic state. However, based on recent gubernatorial and national elections, it can be deduced that the state of Florida is in fact one of the most narrowly divided states sub-culturally and

Over time, Texas has experienced periods of dominance by both the Republican and Democratic parties. Currently, the Republican Party is the more dominant party in Texas, as it is the party that holds the greatest amount of political power. A steadily increasing Texas population, as well as a changing social climate and changing demographics, are all factors that may influence which party will experience the greatest power in the future. In order to determine the role that population, demographics, and social climate will have on party dominance, we must explore both parties, as well as the changes that are occurring in Texas. This paper will discuss the major priorities of the Republican and Democratic Parties and the changes that are

Rick Perry was elected governor of Texas in late 2000. He was born on March 4, 1950, in the small town of Paint Creek, Texas. The reason why I chose him for my essay because he is a good man, a man of integrity. Rick Perry is a wonderful man and he has been a great Texas Governor. What has Rick Perry done for Texas? The state’s economic growing up fast during his long tenure as governor of Texas. During his tenure, he had passed several new laws that help reducing crime rates and saving millions of dollars for Texas. Texas has done better than what most of the other states trying to do. Over the past he has created many jobs for people in Texas, while the other states have all lost jobs. There are now about 2 million or more new employees in

The midterm elections in Texas were something very big this year. This year was the year that the current governor, Rick Perry, would not seek a fourth term. Greg Abbott, real name, Gregory Wayne Abbott, won the midterm election for governor and will take office in January 20, 2015.

Florida is a popular state when discussing political controversy. The media rushes to Florida during congressional and presidential elections due to its reputation as a conflicted state. Here we find the southern regions to be rather liberal and voting democratically, and on the other hand, we see the northern regions voting mostly conservatively. This creates controversy in the United States because Florida is a major determining factor of what kind of outcome we are going to get for a presidential election. This can be especially stressful for those running for office either presidentially or for the state specifically because they are unaware of their chances of gaining the states support and being elected into office.

Although Burr was never able to reach 50% in the polls, he exceeded that threshold on Election Day and defeated Ross by almost 6%. In order to analyze the political climate further, I will be comparing the exit polls for both Trump vs. Clinton and Burr vs Ross. This will help explain why Ross was entering the Senate race with a disadvantage despite media pundits arguing that higher turnout in presidential election years should benefit Ross. Although Five Thirty Eight gave Clinton the slight edge to defeat Trump in North Carolina, Trump’s was able to carry the state with a modest performance. Although Real Clear Politics had Burr winning by an average of 2%, that was certainly below the 5.7% final result. In a three way race between Trump, Clinton, and Johnson, Trump was predicted to win North Carolina by about 1%. The actual results, however, showed Trump winning by about 4%. Although this paper is focusing on the Senate race, it’s certainly important to note the impact that a presidential candidate can have on the electoral map, particularly

Texas is one of the most important turfs when it comes to election times in America. This is because the state is dominated by the Republican Party after it produced George W Bush as the president of United States of America. The Republican dominates the election into state offices in the region. Political analysts argue that for a person to be elected in Texas they must run on a republican ticket. A lot of people in the state do not know that Texas was once a stronghold for the Democrats. The Democrats controlled the politics of Texas for more than 100 years until the year 1972 (Newell et.al. 2009). It is important to investigate the history and changes in dominant party in the state because it defined the realm of politics among the people.

Today I will be talking about how the southern borders of California and Florida voting patterns have changed in the past 25 years. In those 25 years there have been significant changes throughout how many people voted Democratic over Republican.

The government of the people and for the people is only as good as the people voting and people running for those votes. As a nation, elections throughout its history have had controversy tied to them. The SunShine state is an important state for the national elections and for generating issues for the people as a whole. Being a swing state means Florida issues have power nationally, but it also means that the local elections may generate interest from the national government. Winning candidates from the 2016 election show this most notably.

United States Senator for Florida, Marco Rubio once stated, “The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised – that in the U.S., a free market system allows us all to succeed economically, achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves.” Every year Hispanics search the regions of Texas in search of this very opportunity to better themselves and especially their youth. One such region is the poverty stricken region that is the Rio Grande Valley. It is a region that has begun to accept its current role as nothing more than a region of widespread poverty and undervalued skill, but there is one man who will not sit idly by and watch as this region and the Hispanics who inhabit it are characterized by benighted stereotypes and filled with cruel insults. There is one man who will work diligently to better the region. That man is Eric Garza. Garza believes, “Future opportunity exists for Hispanics to excel and advance themselves and their families” (Garza). He sees that a disheartened culture has suddenly sprung up and is on the cusp of something greater than what people believe they can achieve. Eric Garza, a prominent figure in the RGV and State of Texas, has been working to better the welfare of Hispanics since he was a teenager, through his work with The Libre Initiative and his various involvements in local and statewide communities.

The Florida state government is directly involved in this public health policy, since it is has the authority to make changes to the federal-state run Medicaid program. The Sunshine state has opted out from the Medicaid expansion program under the ACA. The Governor of Florida Rick Scott (Republican) endorsed Medicaid expansion, however the state’s GOP-led legislature rejected it. The Republicans have a majority in Florida state-legislature, whereas the ACA act was passed by the Democrats-led federal government under President Obama. The federal government could not require states to adopt the Medicaid expansion. The states must proactively enact legislation to expand their Medicaid program. Since it is non-binding on the states, the state legislatures have the final word whether or not to participate in the expanded Medicaid

When the words “swing state” are mentioned, Florida is perhaps one of the first states a person may think of. In this year’s election cycle, the story is no different. Florida has a single senate seat up for election, and Marco Rubio (R), and Patrick Murphy (D) are hoping to claim it on November 8th. Marco Rubio has held that seat since the last senate election in 2010, giving him an edge as the incumbent. Patrick Murphy is the challenger and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2012. A glance at any polling numbers shows Rubio ahead, and most have shown him ahead since the beginning of the race. The polls do not show a commanding lead, as one may expect from an incumbent. While polling margins are slimmer than many average incumbents, money has not stopped flowing to Rubio. His finances are typical of an incumbent particularly that of a closely contested race. It may be impossible to tell which has the greater effect of Rubio’s fundraising. In states that are typically swing states and have close political races, simple analyses such as incumbency advantage may not fully explain the results and polls in the race.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush promises 4% national growth if elected, which prompted Krugman to bash him, calling his claims “Jeb!onomics” and unrealistic (“Voodoo, Jeb! Style”). However, citing evidence of past US presidents by party affiliation and associated growth rates reveals that neither party can realistically promise a particular growth rate according to Krugman, proof that Republicans’ claims about future growth are both outlandish and misleading. Another serious point of contention for Krugman concerning the Republican Party lies in their historical use of Republican-led state government and successful economic growth during their terms. Krugman has debunked these claims, showing how Texas’ growth during Governor Rick Perry’s term was largely the product of Sunbelt-focused migration and a fracking boom (“Lone Star Stumble”). He also pointed out that California, an economically-liberal state which is disparaged by Republicans continues to experience unprecedented growth despite their “liberally-doomed politics”. Krugman’s strong distrust of Republican economic policy means he has long been a liberally-leaning individual, and with this shift comes support for the most popular Democratic candidate: Hillary

As of today, Arizona’s current governor is Jan Brewer; she was elected to office January 21, 2009; she serves as Arizona’s 22nd governor. Also Arizona’s Director of Strategic Planning and Budgeting is John Arnold. According to the website, “Budget Solutions”, Arizona’s budget timeframe is annual, but some smaller agencies receive biennial budgets. Arizona’s fiscal years starts July 1st. Also in Arizona, by law, the state is required to submit a balance budget. Also in Arizona, the law does not forbid the state to carry over a deficit from one year to the next ("Arizona State State Budget Solutions"). In Florida, today the governor is Rick Scott; he was elected to office January 4, 2011; he serves as Florida’s 45th governor. According to the website, “Budget Solutions”, Florida has an annual budget timeframe, its fiscal year begins on July 1st, and it is also required to pass a balance budget, like Arizona. But by law, Florida is forbidden to carry over a deficit from one year to the next year. Florida takes budget very seriously because “Florida has one of the most aggressive policies for maintaining a balanced budget in the country, requiring that when the budget isn 't balanced, it is to be made balanced” ("Florida State State Budget Solutions"). However, both Arizona and Florida have other issues, processes, and spending priorities that impact their budgetary systems. One issue that has impacted the state’s budget is the Medicaid Expansion in the states. According to
