The Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida (DECF) endorsed four Florida State House legislators from the Orlando area due to their support for the environment. All seats are up for reeelection in 2020.
1. Joy Goff-Marcil, State House District 30
2. Anna Eskamani, State House District 47
3. Amy Mercado, State House District 48
4. Carlos Guillermo Smith, State House District 49
Goff-Marcil is notable because she flipped Florida State House District 30 in 2018, displacing anti-environment Republican Bob Cortes. Her win came within a 3% margin, so it is important to defend her seat.
