In January 1995, Senator Connie Mack was sworn into office for his second term after becoming the first Republican in Florida history to be re-elected to the U.S. Senate with more than 70 percent of the vote. 

He previously served for six years as a Congressman from southwest Florida, and was named as one of the 20 most popular elected officials in America by Campaigns and Elections magazine in 1994. 

U.S. News and world Report dubbed him one of the nation’s new rising political stars. 

Senator Mack and his wife, Priscilla, both cancer survivors, have been honored for promoting the benefits of early cancer detection. He is co-founder of the Senate Cancer Coalition, which deals with issues related to cancer. He is also vice-chairman of the national American Cancer Society Foundation. 

In the Senate, he chairs a joint committee and two subcommittees dealing with economics and appropriations, banking, housing and urban affairs. He is also a member of the Senate Republican Task Force on Health Care.
