Sunshine State Showdown: Florida’s 2026 Midterm Races

Presented by Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University

The 2026 midterm elections will determine more than who controls Congress—they will shape what Washington and Tallahassee can accomplish over the next two years.

This timely discussion takes a closer look at Florida’s political landscape, including the races for the U.S. House and Senate, governor, and statewide cabinet offices. Explore key districts, voter turnout, coalition-building, and the issues likely to influence campaigns, from affordability and property insurance to education, immigration, and cultural debates.

Participants will also learn how to interpret polling, identify misinformation, and separate meaningful trends from political noise. The session concludes with what to watch on election night and what different outcomes could mean for Florida and the nation.

Join OLLI at FAU for an informative and accessible look at the races, issues, and forces shaping Florida’s 2026 midterm elections.
