2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida


The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on November 8, 2022, to elect the 28 U.S. representatives from Florida, one from each of the state's 28 congressional districts. The primary was held on August 23, 2022. The elections coincided with the 2022 United States Senate election in Florida, other elections to the House of Representatives, other elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections.

The Republican Party gained four seats, increasing their majority from 16–11 to 20–8. No Republican lost re-election.

Results summary

Statewide

District

Results of the 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida by district:

District 1

Republican Matt Gaetz, who had represented the district since 2017, was re-elected with 64.6% of the vote in 2020. He won re-election in 2022.

The 1st district contains all of Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties, as well as the western portion of Walton county. Following redistricting the district shrank somewhat, losing its portion of Holmes County and part of Walton County.

Despite losing by an overwhelming margin, Jones ended up being the biggest overperformer in this election cycle for a Florida congressional candidate when compared to the top of the ticket. Jones outperformed Val Demings, the Democratic nominee for the concurrent U.S. Senate race, by approximately 9 percentage points, and Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, by about 11 percentage points within this district's borders. However, this likely had everything to do with the numerous scandals that faced Matt Gaetz.

District 4

The boundaries of the district were redrawn from 2020, determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle.

The 4th district (formerly the 5th) was drawn to be much more conservative than on the previous map, losing Tallahassee and some competitive parts of Duval county and gaining the counties of Nassau and Clay. As a result, the east-to-west layout connecting Tallahassee to Jacksonville was removed entirely.

The boundaries of the district were redrawn from 2020, determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle. The 6th district was changed to lose half of Volusia County, while also taking in Putnam County and the eastern portion of Marion County. However, despite experiencing massive changes to his district, and therefore his electorate, Waltz did not face any major primary threats in this election.

The boundaries of the district were redrawn from 2020, determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle. The 7th district was drawn to be much more conservative than on the previous map, simply by pairing Seminole County with Volusia instead of Orange.

This district was included on the list of Democratic-held seats the National Republican Congressional Committee was targeting in 2022.

Democrat Darren Soto, who had represented the district since 2017, was re-elected with 56.02% of the vote in 2020. Soto won re-election in 2022. Despite winning, however, his margin of victory was only around 7 percentage-points in a Biden+18 district, coinciding with the continuous erosion of support for the Democratic Party among Hispanic voters.

The boundaries of the district were redrawn from 2020, determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle. The 9th district lost most of the portion of Polk County it had in the 2016 map, mostly due to the massive growth of the Puerto Rican population in Orange County and Osceola County.
