Gwen Margolis (née Liedman; October 4, 1934 – June 9, 2020) was a Democratic politician from Florida.

However, due to not having received at least fifty percent of the vote plus one, she had to face the next highest vote-getter, Pedro Garcia Jr., in a December 16, 2008 run-off.

She filed a lawsuit to avoid the run-off election, arguing that because the appraiser's office is a constitutional position, no runoff should be required under state law.

She received the nomination of the Democratic Party on August 24, 2010, defeating Kevin Burns in the primary.

[3] Following a redistricting lawsuit that radically changed the makeup of her senate district, Margolis announced in June 2016 that she was ending her reelection campaign.
