Orlando Elected Officials: County, School Board, Legislature and Congress

An Orlando address votes for officials from the City Council to Congress, and the Orange County Supervisor of Elections lists every office holder with a term length and next election year (Orange County elections office, officials list).

The city layer is covered in depth by the Orlando City Council members guide: Mayor Buddy Dyer, in office since 2003, and six district commissioners, all elected to four year terms, with the mayor's office at 407.246.2221 and City Hall at 400 South Orange Avenue (City of Orlando, Mayor and City Council). This page covers everyone else on an Orlando ballot.

Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings leads the Board of County Commissioners, which the county describes as seven members elected to overlapping four year terms, the mayor at large and six from districts (Orange County Board of County Commissioners).

The county's page lists the district commissioners as Nicole H. Wilson (District 1), Mike Crabb (2), Mayra Uribe (3), Maribel Gomez Cordero (4), Kelly Martinez Semrad (5) and Michael “Mike” Scott (6). The mayor and Districts 2, 4 and 6 are elected in the same cycle as 2014, 2018, 2022 and 2026, and Districts 1, 3 and 5 in presidential years (Board of County Commissioners).

The two official Orange County lists do not match. The Supervisor of Elections lists the mayor and Districts 1 through 8, shows District 2 as Vacant with a next election in 2026, and shows Districts 7 and 8 with the office holder TBD and a next election in 2026; its ballot list also schedules Districts 7 and 8 for 2026. The county page says seven elected members serve on the board and lists Mike Crabb as the District 2 commissioner (Orange County elections office, officials list; Offices Up For Election; Board of County Commissioners). Neither page explains the difference.

The county page has a commissioner search that takes a street address only, with no city, state or ZIP code (Board of County Commissioners).

The Orange County School Board that runs Orlando's public schools has eight seats: Chair Teresa Jacobs and members Angie Gallo, Maria Salamanca, Alicia Farrant, Anne Douglas, Vicki-Elaine Felder, Stephanie Vanos and Melissa Byrd (Orange County elections office, officials list).

Jacobs became chair in November 2018 after two terms as Orange County Mayor, from 2010 to 2018, and two as a county commissioner, and Gallo was first elected for District 1 in 2018 (Orange County Public Schools, School Board).

Four School Board seats are scheduled for the 2026 ballot: the chair and Districts 1, 2 and 3, while Districts 4 to 7 come up in 2028 (Offices Up For Election). OCPS posts a school map by board member, which is how a parent finds which member represents a given school (OCPS School Board).

Eight constitutional officers serve Orlando along with the rest of Orange County: the clerk, comptroller, property appraiser, public defender, sheriff, state attorney, supervisor of elections and tax collector (Orange County elections office, officials list).

The office holders listed by the Orange County elections office are Clerk of the Courts Tiffany Moore Russell, Comptroller Phil Diamond, Property Appraiser Amy Mercado, Public Defender Melissa Vickers, Sheriff John W. Mina, State Attorney Monique H. Worrell, Supervisor of Elections Karen Castor Dentel and Tax Collector Scott Randolph, all listed as Democrats on four year terms (officials list).

Only the clerk's office is on the 2026 Orange County ballot; the other seven come up in 2028 (Offices Up For Election).

Orange County, including Orlando, is split among four U.S. House districts, five Florida Senate districts and ten Florida House districts, so the right lawmaker depends on the street address (Orange County elections office, officials list).

The U.S. House members listed for Orange County are Mike Haridopolos (R, District 8), Darren Soto (D, District 9), Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D, District 10) and Daniel Webster (R, District 11), all on two year terms with a next election in 2026 (officials list). The state senators are Jason Brodeur (R, District 10), Keith L. Truenow (R, District 13), LaVon Bracy Davis (D, District 15), Carlos Guillermo Smith (D, District 17) and Kristen Aston Arrington (D, District 25).

The ten Orange County state House members are Erika Booth (District 35), Susan Plasencia (37), Doug Bankson (39), RaShon Young (40), Bruce Hadley Antone (41), Anna V. Eskamani (42), Johanna López (43), Rita Harris (44), Leonard Spencer (45) and Paula A. Stark (47), every seat up in 2026 (officials list). Of the five Senate seats only District 10 is on the 2026 ballot (Offices Up For Election).

Statewide, Orlando voters elect U.S. Senators Ashley Moody, up in 2026, and Rick Scott, up in 2030, and the Governor, Lieutenant Governor and Cabinet, all four year offices listed with a next election in 2026 (officials list).

The next election on an Orlando ballot is the 2026 General Election on November 3, 2026, with polls open from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM (Election Calendar).

Early voting in Orange County runs Monday, October 19, through Sunday, November 1, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The voter registration deadline for this election was October 5, and mail ballots must be requested by October 22 at 5:00 PM (Election Calendar). The elections office's address lookup returns personalized information on an address's elected representatives, including contact details and the districts it lies in, which settles which of the four congressional or ten state House districts applies (officials list).

Judges are elected too. The Orange County elections office lists 48 numbered groups of 9th Judicial Circuit judges (its ballot list shows Groups 1 to 46) and 22 groups of Orange County Court judges, each on six year terms; two county court groups, 19 and 22, were listed as Vacant in October 2026 (Orange County elections office, officials list). Many circuit and county court groups are scheduled for 2026, as are three of the five Orange Soil and Water Conservation District seats (Offices Up For Election). The elections office's What's On My Ballot page previews the candidates and measures that will appear on a voter's ballot.

City of Orlando offices do not appear on the elections office's list of offices up for election, which points to a separate municipal elections page; the Orlando City Council members guide explains the city's own election calendar. The Orlando government hub covers how city and county government divide services, and the Orlando budget guide covers how the city spends its money.
