Key Figures

Governor Ron DeSantis signed the legislature-approved congressional redistricting map into law on May 4, 2026, completing Florida's mid-decade redistricting. The law takes effect immediately for 2026 candidate qualifying, which opens in June. Opponents filed the first lawsuit against the map on the same day, arguing it violated Florida's Fair Districts Amendment, which prohibits drawing maps that diminish the ability of racial minorities to elect representatives of their choice. The signed map creates a 24-4 Republican advantage in a state Trump carried by 13 points in 2024.

The Florida House approved Governor DeSantis's proposed congressional map in an 83-28 party-line vote on April 29, 2026, followed by the Florida Senate in a 21-17 vote. The map targets four Democratic incumbents: Kathy Castor (Tampa), Darren Soto (Orlando), Lois Frankel (West Palm Beach), and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (Fort Lauderdale). DeSantis had unveiled the 24-4 map on April 27, the day before the special session opened. If enacted, the map would increase Republican representation from 20 to 24 seats out of Florida's 28 congressional districts.
