The Modern Republican Party in Florida
Sinopsis
Despite Florida8217scurrent reputation as a
swing state, there was a time when its
Republicans were the underdogs against a
Democratic powerhouse. This book tells the story
of how the Republican Party of Florida became
the influential force it is today. Republicans
briefly came to power in Florida after the Civil
War but were called 8220capetbaggers8221and
8220sclawags8221by residents who resented
pro-Union leadership. They were so unpopular
that they didn8217tearn official party status
in the state until 1928. Peter Dunbar and Mike
Haridopolos show how, due largely to a
population boom in the state and a schism in the
Democratic Party, Republicans slowly started
to see their ranks swell. This book chronicles
the paths that led to a Republican majority in
both the state Senate and House in the second
half of the twentieth century and highlights
successful campaigns of Florida Republicans for
national positions. It explores the platforms
and impact of Republican governors from Claude
Kirk to Ron DeSantis. It also looks at how a
robust two-party system opened up
political opportunities for women and minorities
and how Republicans affected pressing issues
such as public education, environmental
preservation, and criminal justice. As the
Sunshine State enters its third decade under GOP
control and partisan tensions continue to mount
across the country, this book provides a timely
history of the modern political era in Florida
and a careful analysis of challenges the
Republican Party faces in a state situated at
the epicenter of the nation8217spolitics.
