Daniel Alan Webster (born April 27, 1949) is an American politician who has been a member of the United States House of Representatives since 2011. Webster, a Republican from Florida, represents Florida's 11th district since 2017 after having previously represented Florida's 8th congressional district and 10th district. Prior to his service in Congress, Webster served 28 years in the Florida state legislature.
After receiving his engineering degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology, he worked in the family air conditioning and heating business that he now owns and operates. He has been a resident of Florida since the age of seven and resides in Winter Garden, Florida.
First elected in 1980, Webster served 28 years in the state legislature in Tallahassee, becoming the longest serving legislator in Florida history. During that time, he rose to become Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives and Florida Senate majority leader, and left the legislature only after reaching the legal term limits in 2008. He ran unopposed in all of his elections for the state legislature except for the first three; 1980, 1982, and 1984.
Webster was first elected to Congress in 2010. He has since run twice for Speaker of the House: in January 2015, he received 12 votes for that office, and in October 2015, he received nine votes.
