The new Florida 14th Congressional District

New Map · New District

The new FL-14: Hillsborough County only.

On May 4, 2026, Governor Ron DeSantis signed Florida House Bill 1D, redrawing the state's congressional map ahead of the 2026 cycle. Under the new lines, Florida's 14th Congressional District is contained entirely within Hillsborough County. The old multi-county boundaries are gone. The district that voters across eastern and southern Hillsborough now share is unified, conservative, and focused on Hillsborough's working families.

Old FL-14 vs new FL-14: the previous 14th District centered on the city of Tampa and reached across the bay into parts of southern Pinellas County; it was the seat Kathy Castor held through nine terms. The new FL-14 is a different district: no Pinellas, no multi-county footprint, and a center of gravity in the eastern and southern Hillsborough communities that were previously divided among Florida's 15th and 16th Districts. Going into 2026, most of the new district's communities were represented by someone other than Castor — a community-by-community before-and-after is at Am I in the new FL-14?

Key dates for the 2026 election:

• June 8, 2026: Florida candidate qualifying week opens.
• August 18, 2026: Republican primary election.
• November 3, 2026: General election.

How the map became law

HB 1D came out of Florida's 2026 Special Session D. Lawmakers convened in Tallahassee on April 28, 2026, passed the bill the next day — 83–28 in the House and 21–17 in the Senate, largely along party lines — and Governor DeSantis signed it on May 4, 2026, as Chapter 2026-229, Laws of Florida. The enacted plan is designated EOGPCRP2026, and it redraws 21 of Florida's 28 congressional districts; Districts 1 through 7 are unchanged. The map has been challenged under the Florida Constitution's Fair Districts Amendment, but courts declined to block it for 2026: a Leon County judge denied a preliminary injunction on May 26, and on June 10 the Florida Supreme Court ruled 6–1 that it lacked jurisdiction to intervene at that stage. No court has ruled on the merits, and the 2026 elections proceed on the new lines.

How to confirm your district

District lines do not follow ZIP codes, so the only exact answer is an address check. Search your address on the interactive map above, or look up your voter record at votehillsborough.gov — the Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections is mailing updated voter information cards countywide. Most of the new district's communities arrived from the old 15th and 16th Districts: Plant City, Dover, Seffner, and the northern parts of Brandon and Valrico moved over from FL-15, while Riverview, Apollo Beach, Sun City Center, Ruskin, Wimauma, Bloomingdale, FishHawk, Lithia, and nearly all of Gibsonton came from FL-16. The community-by-community before-and-after is at Am I in the new FL-14?
