It goes back to electing a female statewide officeholder, which PA, OH and FL haven't down. They had Louis Frankel and Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Katherine Harris, but Harris tried for Senate and lost in 2006
Alex Sink was elected CFO in 2006, a statewide cabinet office in Florida. Katherine Harris was also elected to her position of Secretary of State in 1998. For that matter, Florida was the first state to elect a woman to the senate who was not the family member of a former senator with Paula Hawkins in 1980.
