Spanish translation:"at large" (todo el estado de Florida)
Explanation:
Hola Aurora!

Sugiero dejar "at large" y aclarar. Coincido con las colegas en que "at large" en este caso es "legalese" para "todo el territorio de," y se usa en contraposición a "for the District of" o "for the County of", que restringen el territorio.

En la prensa y comunicados oficiales en español de aquí de EE UU, muchas veces se deja "at large" sin traducir:

... Angel L. Ortíz, **Consejal at Large del Estado de Filadelfia** . Obispo Thomas J. Gumbleton, Obispo Auxiliar de la Diósesis de Detriot. ...

También en España, aparentemente, se ha reconocido "at large" como anglicismo, según este documento (que pienso en interesante también x todos los otros términos que presenta): http://descargas.cervantesvirtual.com/servlet/SirveObras/013...
