The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Those who wish to run for either the Florida state House of Representatives or Senate must have lived in Florida for at least 2 years, lived in the district they intend to serve and be at least 21 years old.

The state of Florida legislature has 120 members in the House of Representatives and 40 members in the Senate, for a total of 160 legislators in Congress.

These members of Congress serve the people of Florida and have to create the kind of legislation that benefits the citizens, not the personal agendas or interests of political groups or corporations. Florida Congress is located in Tallahassee, Florida.
