Submitted Biography: "Growing up in Montgomery County, Maryland, I developed an appreciation for the U.S. Constitution and American democracy. My mother, a local activist for the environment and fair public school policy, and my father, a criminal defense attorney, bestowed in me a drive to give voice to those most vulnerable and a willingness to listen to all viewpoints. They taught me that participating in our democracy is our most powerful tool to effect change and support solutions. I believe strongly in the American Dream and understand our democracy is a central component of that Dream. While I understand that many feel disillusioned with our current system and its ability to solve problems, I believe we cannot give up on the oldest existing democracy in the world. Instead of addressing pressing issues like infrastructure repair and creating new jobs for the American people, our current leadership stokes partisan division and encourages distrust in our democracy by rejecting compromise, supporting election fraud claims, and blindly following party demagogues. If elected, I pledge to certify our free and fair elections, protect reproductive rights and address climate change at the national level."

Return of power to the people and State's Rights
Break the duopoly and defund the oligarchy.
Thomas Witkop (D)
I stand in support of women’s access to contraception, IVF, and medical procedures including abortion. These interventions are crucial for women who may lose their life to pregnancy as well as women who wish to expand their family. The decision to undergo pregnancy belongs to women and their doctors, not politicians.
American workers should be the primary beneficiaries of economic growth. As your representative, I will vote for higher wages, affordable housing, and fully funding Social Security and Medicare. It is beyond time to put working families first, and stop writing our tax code to cater to hedge funds and billionaires.

1. Become the voice of their district, if a district chooses an elected official, that means they are putting the trust of their future into the representative’s hands.
2. Inform their constituents. When voted into office, it isn't the job of an official to take their liberty with the sides of the argument they are sharing. They must get the full truth to the voters of their district.
3. Plan for the future with their district in mind. Washington DC is a slow moving machine, even if an elected official is only there for two years, it is incumbent upon them to fight for their district with the future in mind.Elizabeth Felton (No Affiliation)

"Well," Mario said, "are you sure that you want to do this? It is SO dangerous, and one mistake, only one, and you will be destroyed in a matter of minutes."
"Yes, I'm sure. Please, tell me your secrets -- I want to do this."
"Okay," Mario replied. 'First, I go into the cage, and I crack my whip, loudly and strongly, to let them know that I am here, and I am in charge. The lions will snarl, and bare their fangs, but that whip keeps them away."
John is impressed, but then he hesitates, and then says, "What if they swing their paws and knock the whip out of your hand -- what do you do then?"
Mario the Magnificent answers, "I have to very quickly pick up the chair that is in the cage, and lift it and point it at them. They don't like that chair, and will back away for a while... but then will start becoming angry again, and start their growling and pacing again."
"What if they knock the chair away?", John asks.
"Then, then, I pull my pistol out of my holster, and fire it into the air. The lions don't like that loud noise, and will back away."
"But, but what if the pistol jams, and no shot is fired?", John nervously asks.
Mario answers, "Then, as they are coming at you, you must reach back and throw some shit in their faces".
"But, but, how can you be sure -- what if there is no shit there?"
"Reach back. I promise, it will be there!"Elizabeth Felton (No Affiliation)

We cannot have a Defense Department that fails audits. Also, we should properly fund every asset of the government that helps people, including the IRS, the FEC, and the EDA. Government bureaucracy isn't inherently an issue but when you create a system that under-funds the help and over funds the harm to our American constituents, they grow resentful.
We can change that and fix our monetary standard.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Noteworthy ballot measures
- See also: Florida 2024 ballot measures
Two notable ballot measures were on the November 5, 2024, ballot in Florida. One would legalize marijuana possession under three ounces (Amendment 3), and the other would establish a constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability (Amendment 4). A 60% supermajority vote is required for the approval of both amendments.
Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would increase turnout statewide.
- Wendy Sartory Link, the Supervisor of Elections for Palm Beach County, said: “A presidential election gets people excited and brings people out. But you might have folks who may not have cared as much or been as motivated to get out to vote for a president or all of the other races. Now, these amendments might just drive them out.”[7]
- Brad Coker, the CEO of the Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy firm, said of Amendment 4: "It'll bring out younger voters of all kinds and more white, female voters, both groups which lean heavy Democratic... It’ll definitely help turn out voters in what for many was looking like a lackluster choice in the presidential race between Biden and Trump.”[8]
- Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell (D) said: “With voters paying more attention to down-ballot races, I’m optimistic we can have a reverse coattails effect where we start to drive turnout and help improve the numbers at the presidential level.”[9]
- Republican pollster Ryan Tyson disputed the idea that the amendments would increase turnout for Democrats, saying of Amendment 4: "Nobody is trying to say that abortion doesn’t animate their base to turn out — we’ve seen that everywhere... However, we haven’t seen them turn out voters that wouldn’t have already turned out, like in a presidential year."[10]
- Sen. Marco Rubio (R) said of Amendment 4: “People are going to vote, they’re going to come out and vote and I don’t think [the abortion rights measure] is going to change any turnout patterns.”[11]
Amendment 3
A "yes" vote supported legalizing marijuana for adults 21 years old and older and allowing individuals to possess up to three ounces of marijuana. |
A "no" vote opposed legalizing marijuana for adult use in Florida. |

Amendment 4
A "yes" vote supported adding the following language to the Florida Constitution’s Declaration of Rights: “… no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” Amendment 4 maintained the existing constitutional provision that permitted a law requiring parents to be notified before a minor can receive an abortion. |
A "no" vote opposed amending the Florida Constitution's Declaration of Rights to provide that the state cannot "... prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider." |

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Florida in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 7, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
One hundred three candidates ran for Florida’s 28 U.S. House districts, including 42 Democrats and 61 Republicans. That’s 3.68 candidates per district, less than in the previous three election cycles. There were 5.43 candidates per district in 2022, 4.22 candidates per district in 2020, and 3.86 in 2018.
The 8th Congressional District was the only open district, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s the fewest open seats in Florida since 2014 when no seats were open. Incumbent Rep. Bill Posey (R-8th) did not run for re-election because he is retired from public office.
Seven candidates—incumbent Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-23rd) and six Republicans—ran for the 23rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.
Thirty primaries—nine Democratic and 21 Republican—were contested in 2024. Thirty-eight primaries were contested in 2022, 29 primaries were contested in 2020, and 31 primaries were contested in 2018.
Fifteen incumbents—two Democrats and 13 Republicans—were in contested primaries in Florida in 2024. That’s less than the 17 incumbents in contested primaries in 2022 but more than the 10 incumbents in contested primaries in 2020.
The 20th Congressional District is guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans will appear on the ballot. Democrats filed to run in every congressional district, meaning none are guaranteed to Republicans.Partisan Voter Index
Heading into the 2024 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+7. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 7 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Florida's 21st the 179th most Republican district nationally.[16]
2020 presidential election results
The table below shows what the vote in the 2020 presidential election would have been in this district. The presidential election data was compiled by Daily Kos.
