2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida


The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on November 5, 2024, to elect the 28 U.S. representatives from the state of Florida, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections coincided with the U.S. presidential election, as well as 2024 [United States House of Representatives elections|other elections] to the House of Representatives, 2024 [United States Senate elections|elections] to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. Primary elections took place on August 20.

Background

On September 2, 2023, a Florida judge ruled that Florida's congressional map, created by Governor Ron DeSantis, violated the Florida Constitution and cannot be used for any future House elections. The issue was specifically on Florida's 5th district, then represented by Democrat Al Lawson, which was removed and replaced by a Republican-leaning district. This was controversial because the district had an African-American plurality. The state's successful appeal is to be challenged in front of the Florida Supreme Court, but a redrawn map was not created by election time. A concurrent federal lawsuit is also in progress.
