FactVote sums the 12 monthly state offense rates returned by the FBI Crime Data Explorer for each calendar year. The accompanying coverage value is the mean of the 12 monthly population-coverage percentages returned with the same query. These are crimes reported to law enforcement, not all crimes that occurred. Florida's 2021–2024 points have partial reporting coverage and should not be treated as fully comparable statewide rates. Reporting systems, agency participation, and later revisions can change the published series. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.

The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Florida milestones include its constitutional wage schedule, fuel-tax holiday, housing and education laws, health and energy legislation, theft-law changes, budget approval and pandemic directives, where relevant to this topic. Statutory amounts and national estimates are not observed changes in Florida readings.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Florida officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 2026.

Candidate questionnaire response
The public is right, and I've been fighting this fight for years. Our property insurance premiums are the highest in the nation, roughly triple the national average, and recent rate cuts haven't reached most families. Those costs go to insurance company profits and CEO bonuses. On the other hand, property taxes fund essential services like schools, police, fire, trash collection, and other local programs. We have some good insurance companies in Florida, and some bad actors that deny valid claims and shift profits to affiliates while claiming losses. As Governor, I will hold insurers accountable to pay legitimate claims, require real rate and profit transparency, and invest in resilience that reduces the underlying risk. On property taxes, I'm open to targeted relief for homesteaded, low-income owners like seniors, veterans, and young people.

Whether you're a native born Floridian, an immigrant to our state, or a Tallahassee politician, if you break the law in Florida, you'll be held accountable. But Florida can also be a state that corrects disparities in criminal justice for communities of color and immigrant communities, promoting local control of community policing.

This section matches specific crime, victimization, policing and criminal justice terms in retained, attributed source text from published Florida candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

Only current Florida officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Florida statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 2026.
Sources & methods
Each data section links to its primary source and states its reporting period, unit, definition, and comparison limits. All 50 states appear in comparison tables. D.C. and territories are excluded from ranks. Missing and suppressed observations stay unavailable; a missing value is never treated as zero.
Ranks use stored source precision, ordered highest to lowest. Equal values share the same rank (1, 2, 2, 4). Sampling error and reporting coverage can make nearby ranks unreliable. The U.S. benchmark uses the published national measure when it is available, rather than a simple average of state values.
