How would Florida State Representative Ben Diamond (D-68) describe his district in three words? “Diverse, exciting, engaging.”
In his Know Your Electeds interview, Diamond talks about his upcoming legislative priorities, which include exploring ways to increase Florida’s preparedness for natural disasters. He also explains what makes his district so special, saying that, beyond the “amazing” beaches, “We have an incredible cultural life in St. Petersburg.”
Diamond has represented Florida’s 68th House District since 2016 and feels “very privileged to represent [St. Petersburg] in the Florida House.” When pressed, Diamond admits that if he wasn’t a Florida representative his next dream job would be to play Major League Baseball.
