Florida Rep. Alcee Hastings has died after he was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. He was 84.
The Democratic congressman, who was Florida’s first Black federal judge and fought for civil rights, was impeached and removed from the federal judicial bench in the 1980s over his role in a bribery scandal. He was first elected to the House in 1992.
Hastings’ death was confirmed by his chief of staff Lale Morrison.
Hastings ran for Congress after his removal as a federal judge and handily won election in 1992 after beating then-state Rep. Lois Frankel in the Democratic primary, becoming Florida’s first Black congressman since after the Civil War. He served for fifteen terms in the House and was the dean of the Florida House delegation as its longest-serving member.
