Southern Hillsborough · FL-14
Wimauma, Florida
in Florida's 14th Congressional District
Wimauma is a growing rural community in southern Hillsborough with deep agricultural heritage and a working-Florida character.
What makes Wimauma home.
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.
What Wimauma needs from Washington.
Wimauma 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 Wimauma:
- → Trade policy that protects Florida agriculture and family farms
- → Federal immigration enforcement that supports lawful agricultural workforce
- → Healthcare access for rural and semi-rural southern Hillsborough
- → USDA programs that strengthen family farms and small growers
- → Federal-aid highway funding for U.S. 301 capacity
Meet John
John Peters in Wimauma.
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.
The Incumbent
Castor's record on what matters in Wimauma.
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.
