Dean Black is a Republican member of the Florida Legislature representing the state's 15th House district, which includes Nassau County and some of Duval County.[1]
An 8th generation Northeast Florida native, Dean Black and his wife Kim have 5 children. Serving as Chairman of the Republican Party of Duval County since 2018 and re-elected subsequently, Black is a local business owner and rancher. He is also a proud Air Force Veteran and was a member of the 125th Fighter Wing, Florida Air National Guard on Jacksonville’s Northside. A staunch Trump supporter, Black was a campaign surrogate, official Delegate to the 2020 Republican National Convention, and had a leading presence on the campaign trail.[2]
Florida House of Representatives
2023 Florida Legislative Session
Rep. Black sponsored a bill that stops public-sector unions from automatically deducting union dues from employee paychecks.[3]
2024 Florida Legislative Session
Dean filed a House bill called the "What is a Woman Act". This bill, named after conservative commentator Matt Walsh's controversial documentary, would legally define the terms "man" and woman" based on a person's "biological sex at birth."[4] If passed, all identifying legal documents in Florida would use the term "sex" instead of "gender", making it impossible for transgender individuals to change their gender markers.[5] Equality Florida condemned the bill, calling it an attack on transgender people.[6]
In response to the trend of government officials taking down Confederate statues, Black filed legislation that would punish any lawmakers who vote to remove "historical monuments and memorials."[7] Under this bill, if local lawmakers vote in favor of the removal of Confederate statues, they may be fined or removed from office by the governor.
