佛罗里达州选民将于周二选出未来两年的美国众议院议员。阳光州拥有高达27个国会选区，目前由20名共和党人和8名民主党人分别代表。然而，由即将卸任的州长罗恩·德桑蒂斯（共和党）领导的佛罗里达州共和党人今年早些时候在一次特别会议上通过了一张新的国会选区划分图，该图将在周二的选举中使用，尽管相关诉讼仍在进行中。
Floridians on Tuesday will pick their U.S. representatives for the next two years. The Sunshine State is home to a whopping 27 congressional districts that are currently split between 20 Republicans and eight Democrats. However, Florida Republicans, led by outgoing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), passed a new congressional map during a special session earlier this year that will be used for Tuesday's elections despite ongoing litigation.
新选区图预计可能将使该州国会代表团中的民主党人数量减半。两届众议员安娜·保利娜·卢纳（共和党）在2024年以约55%的得票率在坦帕湾附近的第13国会选区连任。今年，她的民主党挑战者是退役美国陆军准将莉拉·格雷。在邻近的第14选区，民主党众议员凯西·卡斯托希望在重新划区努力后保住席位，许多选举预测人士将该竞选评为势均力敌或略微倾向民主党。
The new map is expected to possibly halve the number of Democrats in the state's congressional delegation. Two-term Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) was reelected in 2024 with about 55 percent of the vote in the 13th Congressional District, which is near Tampa Bay. This year, her Democratic challenger is retired U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Leela Gray. In the neighboring 14th District, Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor is hoping to defend her seat following the redistricting efforts, with many election handicappers rating the race as toss-up or leans Democratic.
她的共和党对手是州众议员迈克·贝尔特兰。民主党众议员洛伊斯·弗兰克尔正在寻求第八届国会议员任期，她已从第22选区转至第23选区，该选区在共和党主导的重新划区努力后，从博卡拉顿延伸至劳德代尔堡。她的共和党对手是金融顾问黛博拉·阿代米。众议员贾里德·莫斯科维茨（民主党）原为第23选区的现任议员，但他选择在布劳沃德县一个更偏向共和党的第25选区参选，对手是前博卡拉顿市长斯科特·辛格。
Her Republican opponent is state Rep. Mike Beltran. Democratic Rep. Lois Frankel is seeking her eighth term in Congress after switching from the 22nd District to the 23rd District, which stretches from Boca Raton to Fort Lauderdale following the GOP-led redistricting effort. Her GOP opponent is financial adviser Deborah Adeimy. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D), who was the incumbent in the 23rd District, instead opted to run in the 25th District, a more Republican-leaning district in Broward County, against former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer.
莫斯科维茨在民主党初选中击败了进步派挑战者奥利弗·拉金。共和党众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查今年早些时候因在一则竞选广告中公开就移民执法问题与特朗普总统决裂而登上全国头条，这表明本轮选举的政治风向可能正在对共和党不利。
Moskowitz defeated progressive challenger Oliver Larkin in the Democratic primary. Republican Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar made national headlines earlier this year when she publicly broke from President Trump over immigration enforcement in a campaign ad, a signal of the political winds potentially turning against Republicans this cycle.
她正试图保住第27选区的席位，该选区完全位于迈阿密-戴德县，对手是民主党挑战者、当地资深新闻主播埃利奥特·罗德里格斯。投票站东部标准时间晚上7点关闭。
She's trying to hold her seat in the 27th District, which is entirely within Miami-Dade County, against her Democratic challenger, Eliott Rodriguez, a longtime local news anchor. Polls close at 7 p.m. EST.
