Florida's congressional districts
Representative districts in the U.S. state of Florida
Florida is divided into 28 congressional districts, each represented by a member of the United States House of Representatives. After the 2020 United States census, Florida gained one seat, increasing from 27 to 28 districts.
The current congressional district boundaries (Plan EOGPCRP2026) were passed by the Florida Legislature on April 29, 2026, and signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis on May 4, 2026. On June 10, 2026, the Supreme Court of Florida allowed the map to remain in effect for the 2026 elections. These districts are the ones in use for the 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida.
Current districts and representatives
This is a list of the United States representatives from Florida. The current members were elected under the prior (2023–2026) map. New members will be elected in November 2026 under the current (EOGPCRP2026) boundaries and take office in January 2027.
Republicans have complete control of the congressional redistricting process in Florida, as any new maps are drawn and passed by the Republican-held state legislature and signed into law by the Republican governor. This has resulted in Florida's maps being an "extreme" partisan gerrymander in favor of the Republican Party, with few competitive districts.
