Nick DiCeglie

Office and district

Nick DiCeglie is the Republican senator for Florida Senate District 18. The official Senate profile describes the district as part of Pinellas County. His district office is in St. Petersburg, with a separate Capitol office in Tallahassee. The public directory provides an official Senate email and phone numbers. These are constituent contact details and should not be confused with a personal address. The current member page lists his assignments for the 2024–2026 legislative term. S1

DiCeglie was elected to the Senate in 2022 after serving in the Florida House from 2018 to 2022. The timeline marks a four-year period in the lower chamber followed by his move to the Senate. The official page identifies him as a small business owner and records his birthplace in McAlester, Oklahoma, with a move to Florida in 1996. It does not list a college degree, so none is added here. S1

Professional and community background

The Senate biography describes DiCeglie’s occupation as small business owner. It lists public affiliations in Pinellas County, including Rotary Club of Belleair, Leadership Pinellas, Pinellas County Economic Development Council and the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce, where it records him as chairman in 2013 and 2014. The profile also lists his chairmanship of the Pinellas County Republican Executive Committee from 2015 to 2018. These affiliations describe the civic and professional organizations listed by the Senate; they are not treated as endorsements. S1

The profile names his spouse and two children and lists interests including golf, boating, fishing, running and cooking Italian Sunday dinner. These details are included only to the extent that the Legislature makes them public. The biography does not include additional family information or infer personal views from recreational interests.

Florida House and Senate service

DiCeglie entered the Florida House in 2018, served through 2022 and then won a seat in the Florida Senate. He now represents District 18 in the upper chamber. The Senate page lists his service in the current 2024–2026 roster and identifies his public contact channels. This is a state-level profile; any local government or campaign role not named in the official biography is excluded unless separately verified. S1

His official Senate profile lists awards from the Florida Home Builders Association, Associated Builders and Contractors of Florida, the Florida chapter of the National Waste and Recycling Association, and Epilepsy Florida. The awards are reported as the Senate attributes them to their issuing organizations. They do not independently establish policy outcomes or prove that any group supports every legislative action he takes. S1

Current committee assignments

For 2024–2026, DiCeglie chairs the Appropriations Committee on Transportation, Tourism, and Economic Development. He is vice chair of Governmental Oversight and Accountability and also serves on Appropriations, the Appropriations Committee on Agriculture, Environment, and General Government, Commerce and Tourism, Environment and Natural Resources, Judiciary, Rules and the Joint Select Committee on Collective Bargaining. This list shows a portfolio that includes budget work, transportation, tourism, economic development, oversight, environmental subjects and chamber procedures. S1

The Senate’s official committee directory explains the committee structure and publishes members. Chair and vice chair titles describe designated committee responsibilities, while an assignment alone does not establish a vote or policy view. The Senate member page also lists 2027 relief measures introduced under his name. Those are filed bills, not completed laws, and should be reported with their legislative status rather than described as enacted accomplishments. S2

The Senate’s media archive includes a 2025 publication about a comprehensive transportation bill that passed the Florida House unanimously. That title documents an official communication about the bill and its House passage; it does not by itself establish the bill’s final enactment or describe every provision. A later policy profile should open the bill record to verify its Senate history and final status before drawing conclusions. S3

Current status

The Senate’s 2024–2026 member page identifies DiCeglie as the sitting senator for District 18 and lists his current committee roles. His next regular election date was not verified from the member page and should be checked against official district election materials. The biography contains no claim that a specific bill is law without confirming its official status. No portrait reuse rights are cleared here, and this C-1b record remains an offline draft. S1

Reading the public record

The Florida Senate’s official member page is the primary source for this entry. It identifies the senator, party, district, committee assignments, legislative service, public biography, and a public contact route. The current page is labeled for the 2024–2026 Senate term. It is a snapshot of the Legislature’s own roster and should be checked again when the next term begins. This biography uses the page’s distinctions between present service, earlier legislative offices, professional background, community affiliations, and awards. Where the source gives only a year or a title, this profile does not manufacture a more precise date or imply duties beyond what the source states. S1

Committee membership indicates where a senator serves; it does not, by itself, establish a policy position or a vote. A chair or vice chair title likewise describes a committee role rather than proving that the member personally authored every action taken by that committee. Any discussion of a specific bill or public position should be supported by the bill’s official history, a recorded vote, a hearing record, or a statement issued by the senator. This draft therefore reports concrete public actions only where the official Senate page provides a verifiable item, and otherwise leaves issue-level claims out. S2

The district description comes from the Senate’s official district section. It is a geographic summary, not a claim that every community in the district shares the same interests. The listed district office is a public constituent contact point and should not be confused with a personal residence. This biography includes family and recreational details only when they appear in the official legislative biography; it adds no private-life claims. S1
