Eastern Hillsborough · FL-14
Seffner, Florida
in Florida's 14th Congressional District
Seffner is a long-standing eastern Hillsborough community — small in size, deep in roots, and emblematic of the working families who define FL-14.
What makes Seffner home.
Seffner sits just east of Tampa along U.S. 92 and Interstate 4, a community whose neighborhoods, churches, and small businesses have shaped eastern Hillsborough for generations. It is the kind of place where many residents have lived for decades, where small business owners run shops their parents started, and where the rhythms of community life — Friday-night football, Sunday services, neighborhood pancake breakfasts — remain unbroken.
Seffner shares schools and commercial corridors with neighboring Brandon, Mango, and Dover, anchoring it firmly to the broader eastern Hillsborough community. Its character is working-class, conservative, family-rooted, and deeply skeptical of a Washington that has stopped showing up for ordinary people.
What Seffner needs from Washington.
Seffner families have real, practical stakes in what Congress does — and what it stops doing. These are the federal priorities John Peters will fight for on behalf of Seffner:
- → Tax policy that protects working-family deductions and savings
- → Inflation relief through fiscally responsible federal spending
- → Federal-aid highway funding for the I-4 / U.S. 92 corridor
- → Property insurance reform for working-class homeowners
- → Federal support for small business and pass-through operations
Meet John
John Peters in Seffner.
John Peters regularly visits Seffner during his travels across eastern Hillsborough. He has met with Seffner residents, small business owners, and families over the years to understand the daily realities of life along the I-4 corridor — and the gap between what Washington promises and what working-class Hillsborough actually receives.
The Incumbent
Castor's record on what matters in Seffner.
Seffner is a community of working families and small business owners whose budgets feel every bit of Washington's spending. Kathy Castor's eighteen-year record reflects consistent votes for federal spending that drives inflation and erodes the value of every paycheck. After nine terms, Seffner deserves a representative who treats fiscal responsibility as a daily, practical concern — because that is exactly how Seffner families do.
