Windermere resident Erin Huntley this week announced her candidacy for Florida House of Representatives District 45.
The seat currently is held by Democrat and former Disney executive Leonard Spencer, who beat former Republican Carolina Amesty in the November 2024 general election.
“For nearly two decades, I have called Central Florida home, raising my three children here alongside my husband, Eric, and working to make our community a better place for all of our neighbors,” Huntley said. “As a proud conservative and a mom, I know the challenges Florida families face, and I am ready to fight for their future in Tallahassee.”
Huntley’s campaign centers on preserving Florida’s freedoms; enhancing education through school choice and literacy programs; and a commitment to public safety and ensuring fiscal responsibility while fostering economic opportunities for District 45’s residents.
In her role as chair of the Orange County Republican Party, Huntley spearheaded efforts that energized grassroots activism, shattered fundraising records and increased voter engagement. Under her leadership, Orange County experienced a nine-point Republican shift — the county’s best GOP performance in nearly two decades.
Most recently, Huntley was one of 30 people selected to be an elector and cast a ballot on behalf of Florida residents for the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump.
“I’m running … to be a voice for the families of District 45,” Huntley said. “I'm not a politician. I spent my career in the private sector and human resources — solving real-world problems and working to make a difference in people's lives. As a mom of three, I know what is at stake and every decision I make will be rooted in the values that matter the most to the families of Orange and Osceola counties."
Huntley’s professional background includes roles with Walt Disney Parks, JetBlue Airways and DECA Inc., where she gained expertise in leadership development, education, and human resources.
