Wimauma, Florida

Wimauma sits inland from Tampa Bay in the agricultural southern reaches of Hillsborough County. It is a historically rural, agriculturally rooted community shaped by family farms, faith institutions, and the working-Florida values that have defined this part of the county for generations.

In recent years Wimauma has begun to grow as planned communities push south along U.S. 301, but its core character remains agricultural and tight-knit. The small businesses, churches, and community organizations of Wimauma anchor a daily life where neighbors still know each other and the rhythms of the growing season still matter.

Wimauma's voters care deeply about agriculture, immigration enforcement, healthcare access, and the freedom to live a working life without federal interference.

John Peters regularly visits the agricultural communities of southern Hillsborough, including Wimauma. He has met with growers, faith leaders, and rural residents over the years to understand the federal issues that affect working-land communities — and the gap between Washington's rhetoric and the practical realities of farming and rural life.

Wimauma is shaped by agriculture, faith, and the practical conservatism of rural southern Hillsborough. Kathy Castor's eighteen-year record has not aligned with Wimauma's values on trade, immigration enforcement, energy, or rural healthcare access. After nine terms, Wimauma deserves a representative whose voting record actually reflects working-land Hillsborough.
