As the 2017 legislative session carries on colorfully in Tallahassee, dozens of articles come out about dozens of House Members each day. Amidst all the noise and commotion, and with 49 new members, it can be a little difficult to keep track of everyone involved.
We'll read things we love, things we hate, and other things that will leave us asking "Where on earth did this person go to school and what did they study!?" In the interests of that not-so-infrequent question (and a slow news day), below is a list of the educational backgrounds of Members of the House. 83% of the members have a Bachelor's degree or greater; here is that list.
