Deutsch gave up his state house seat to make a successful run for the 20th District in 1992, and Schultz succeeded him, becoming the youngest female legislator in Florida's history. She was elected to the Florida Senate in 2000. During her tenure in both Florida's House and Senate, she was considered one of the most liberal representatives in Florida. She fought for legislation protecting women, seniors, and children, including legislation requiring gender price parity for dry cleaning and ensuring an equal number of men and women were appointed to state boards. She pushed through several bills including the Florida Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act and one creating a Children's Services Council for Broward County. 1992 (MCMXCII) was a leap year starting on Wednesday. ...

In 2004, Deutsch gave up his Congressional seat to make an unsuccessful run for the Senate seat of fellow Democrat Bob Graham. He endorsed Schultz as his successor. She was unopposed in the Democratic primary, and was a nearly overwhelming favorite in November. Daniel Robert Graham (born November 9, 1936) is an American politician. ...
Wasserman Schultz's Republican opponent was Margaret Hostetter, a realtor and outspoken conservative. Her campaign site lampooned Wasserman Schultz for protesting an American flag photograph with a Christian cross on it that was on display in a government building. Hostetter wrote, "Elect Margaret Hostetter to Congress November 2 and send the clear message that Americans respect and support ... the foundational role Christianity has had in the formation of our great nation. Our rights come from God, not the state." Hostetter also suggested that Wasserman Schultz should not be elected because she would not have enough time to devote to Congress because of her three young children. These statements ended any realistic chance of defeating Schultz, although the 20th is so heavily Democratic that Hostetter faced very long odds in any case.

Schultz was victorious, taking 70.2% to Hosteller's 29.8%. When Wasserman Schultz was sworn in on January 4, 2005, she insisted on using the Tanakh. Because Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert only had a Christian Bible, a copy of the Tanakh was borrowed by Hastert's staff from Congressman Gary Ackerman for this purpose.[1] She was unopposed in 2006, and it is not likely that she will face serious opposition in the near future.

Wasserman Schultz was appointed to the Democratic Steering and Policy Committee. Following the 2006 elections, wherein she raised over seventeen million dollars in campaign contributions for her democratic colleagues (third most after Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emmanuel), she was chosen as Chief Deputy Whip and appointed to the powerful Appropriations Committee. She is a member of Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's 30 Something Working Group, which is comprised of congressional Democrats under age 40. The group concentrates on issues affecting young people, including Social Security. She also has joined the bipartisan Congressional Cuba Democracy Caucus.

Terri Shiavo Controversy During the Terri Schiavo controversy, she was one of the strongest opponents of congressional intervention. She publicly accused President Bush of hypocrisy for signing a 1999 bill as governor of Texas which allows health care workers to remove life support for terminally ill patients if the patient or family is unable to pay the medical bills. The Daily Show ran a clip of Wasserman Schultz citing the case of a six-month old Texas baby whose life support had been removed over the objections of his family while the Schiavo controversy was still ongoing. In an editorial, the Miami Herald wrote: "During three hours of debate ... the freshman Democrat distinguished herself by repeatedly challenging those who tried to misstate the facts surrounding Schiavo's health."
