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]
