2006 Florida gubernatorial election

The 2006 Florida gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2006. Incumbent Republican Governor Jeb Bush was term-limited, and could not run for election to a third consecutive term. The election was won by then-Republican Charlie Crist, the state's attorney general. The election was notable in that for the first time, the state elected a Republican governor in three consecutive elections.

Turnout for the 2006 election was down 8.5% from 2002 and down 2.7% from 1998. With Republicans holding the seat, the state's governorship avoided being part of the wave in which Democrats netted a gain of six governorships across the nation. This remains the last time that Charlie Crist won a statewide election in Florida, as well as the last election in which he ran as a Republican. This was the last time until 2022 that anyone was elected governor with a majority of the vote. To date, this is the last time Florida simultaneously elected a United States Senate candidate and a gubernatorial candidate of different political parties.
