The Florida Whig Party was a political party in the state of Florida.[1][2][3][4] The party chose to revive the 19th century Whig Party name. In 2008, the party aligned itself with the Modern Whig Party, a national organization of about 30,000 members initially founded by Iraq and Afghanistan veterans as a "comeback" of the historic Whig Party.[5] However, the Florida Whig Party discontinued this association in late 2009, largely due to its increasingly conservative platform.[6] The Florida Whig Party was the first "Whig" state political party to officially run candidates for federal office in over a century.[7]
