Simpson has served for 10 years as a member of the Florida Senate, the last two as its President and represents the 10th district which includes Pasco County, Citrus and Hernando. “Floridians showed the rest of the country that common sense is bipartisan in a stunning rejection of socialism, woke ideology and the economic ignorance coming out of Washington and embraced by so many politicians who look down on, instead of lifting up the people we serve,” Simpson said in a press release election night.

Simpson will take office in January 2023 with fellow Florida Republican Cabinet members Attorney General Ashley Moody and State Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, both of whom are starting their second term in office with Governor Ron DeSantis.
