Florida House of RepresentativesIn 2014, incumbent State Representative Ed Hooper was unable to seek re-election due to term limits, so Latvala ran to succeed him. He ran against veteran Christopher Shepard in the Republican primary, and campaigned on the experience that he gained while working for Hooper, noting that it "taught him the value of constituent services--helping individual citizens with their state government problems."[1] Latvala ended up defeating Shepard by a wide margin, winning 67% of the vote, and advancing to the general election, where he faced the Democratic nominee, Steve Sarnoff. In the end, Latvala ended up defeating Sarnoff, winning his first term in the legislature with 53% of the vote.
