Notes

Florida's 8th Senate district elects one member of the Florida Senate. The district consists of most of Volusia County and part of northern Brevard County, in the U.S. state of Florida. The current senator is Republican Tom A. Wright.

From 1849 to 1850, the district was represented by Augustus Maxwell, a future Confederate States senator. From 1940 to 1943, and again from 1946 to 1954, the district was represented by future Governor of Florida LeRoy Collins.

Three presidents of the Florida Senate have represented the district: Lew Brantley, Ander Crenshaw, and Jim King.
