| Info | Ray Claiborne Osborne
Elected to the Florida House of Representatives from Pinellas County in 1964 and 1966.
Elected to the Florida House of Representatives from the 48th District in 1967 and 1968.
Mr. Osborne served as lieutenant governor from 1969 to 1971 under former Gov. Claude Kirk after voters reestablished the office in a 1968 change to the state constitution. The office of lieutenant governor had been abolished in the 1880s.
Osborne had been a Republican state legislator from the St. Petersburg area from 1964 to 1968 at a time when Democrats dominated Florida politics.
“He was a bright, shining Republican from St. Petersburg and I enjoyed him very much,” Kirk said this week when asked how he selected Mr. Osborne to be lieutenant governor. “Talent, bearing, all the other good attributes — he had them all.”
Kirk said Mr. Osborne was instrumental in helping him get landmark environmental measures and other laws through the legislature.
“Ray was an outstanding lieutenant governor,” Kirk said. “He was very helpful in getting the legislature to finally understand what ‘environment’ meant.”
