Florida GOP Freshman Class Unites Behind Mike Redondo for 2030 Speaker

Miami Rep. Mike Redondo has been unanimously chosen by his GOP freshman class to become House Speaker following the 2030 elections—a remarkable rise less than two years into his first term. Redondo, a 40-year-old attorney and son of Cuban exiles, called the selection “the honor of a lifetime” and praised the unity of his fellow lawmakers, saying they are driven by a shared commitment to doing what’s best for Florida. Set to take the gavel after Jennifer Canady’s 2028 term, Redondo’s leadership is expected to build on the state’s conservative momentum.
