The Winner
If you live in Florida's 10th U.S. House District, you will continue to be represented in Congress by Maxwell Frost (D-FL), who won reelection unopposed after no other candidates qualified for the general election ballot, according to the Florida Division of Elections. The Nov. 3 general election contest was canceled, and Frost was reelected without appearing on the ballot. The seat stays in Democratic hands as Democrats prepare to take control of the House in January.
The Race
The Republican primary, scheduled for Aug. 18, was canceled because no Republican candidates qualified for the ballot. Five Republicans — Stuart Farber, Willie Montague, Howard Steven Rance, Angela Marie Walls-Windhauser and Vibert White — had sought the nomination but did not qualify. The Democratic primary was also canceled because Frost faced no opposition. Cook Political Report rated the seat Solid Democratic, as did Inside Elections.
Florida's 10th Congressional District has a reported population of about 788,900 and a median household income of about $71,400, according to district-level geographic data. The district's median age is about 34.9, and about 37.1% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The population is about 40.1% white, 30.2% Hispanic, 26.4% Black, and 4.9% Asian, with about 23.1% of residents born outside the United States. The unemployment rate is about 6.2%, and approximately 15.3% of residents live below the poverty line.
What's Next
Frost is set to begin his next term on Jan. 3, 2027. Affordable housing, health care, gun violence prevention, reproductive rights, climate action, and civil liberties are among his legislative priorities, according to Our Revolution, which highlighted his work in an Oct. 22 endorsement.
