West Palm Beach Representative Mark Pafford, who will become House Democratic leader after the 2014 elections, started as an aide to Congressman Lawrence J. Smith and then-state Representative Lois Frankel. He was elected to the House in his own right in 2008 and has served as minority whip, policy chair and leader of his local delegation.
Pafford is a graduate of Florida International University with a bachelor’s degree in public administration. From 1998 to 2007, he was executive director of the Alzheimer’s Association in Palm Beach County and now is a consultant for nonprofits. He was chosen last month to replace Representative Darryl Rouson, D-St. Petersburg, as the next caucus leader after a fight that exposed schisms among House Democrats and within the Florida Democratic Party.
