Barry Silver (born November 18, 1956) is a Florida attorney and politician who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives.[1]

Silver was born to Elaine and Samuel Silver[2] in Mount Vernon, New York[1] on November 18, 1956.[1]

Silver came in first in the primary election held on September 2, 1996, to replace Ron Klein in Florida House of Representatives District 89.[3] In October Silver won the Democratic nomination for the runoff election over Glenn Wichinsky. Because there was no Republican opposition,[2] by winning the runoff, Silver essentially won the District 89 Seat.[4]
