With a 39-point Republican presidential margin in 2024, this district ranks among Florida's most reliably one-sided state house seats, reflecting a demographic and geographic profile far from the state's perennial swing corridors.
The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the district by nineteen points. The 2024 margin was three points, in line with the district's new direction.
The demographics suggest why. A population of 35,498, a 39% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $74,583 situate the district in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles.
