State Representative, District 37
November 3, 2026 · State House District 37; Florida · State house district · general
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: High · 83 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 174,946 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(221,815 ÷ 174,946) ÷ ln(221,815 ÷ 167,065) = 83.74, comparing state house districts in FL (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
