He was a member of the Democratic Party. Born in Coral Gables, Florida, Graham won election to the Florida House of Representatives after graduating from Harvard Law School. After serving in both houses of the Florida Legislature, Graham won the 1978 Florida gubernatorial election, and was reelected in 1982. In the 1986 Senate elections, Graham defeated incumbent Republican Senator Paula Hawkins.
