All U.S. House districts, including the 13th Congressional District of Florida, held elections in 2022. The general election was on November 8, 2022. The primary was scheduled for August 23, 2022. The filing deadline was June 17, 2022.

On May 4, 2021, incumbent Rep. Charlie Crist announced his candidacy for Governor of Florida in 2022.[1] On August 31, 2022, Crist announced his resignation from the United States House of Representatives. Florida is one of five states with a resign-to-run law.[2]

The outcome of this race affected the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 118th Congress. All 435 House districts were up for election.

Republicans won a 222-213 majority in the U.S. House in 2022.

Daily Kos calculated what the results of the 2020 presidential election in this district would have been following redistricting. Joe Biden (D) would have received 46.1% of the vote in this district and Donald Trump (R) would have received 52.9%.[3]

I am going to stay out of the partisan sideshow to get legislation passed that has broad support. Democrats and Republicans are too afraid of publicly admitting that they agree on some policy as it may weaken their position in the big-picture struggle for power. The Libertarian isn't in that game and can be an advocate for the common citizen.

The House has abdicated its responsibility and it will continue to do so without some needed procedural changes that will not come from "keep the House" or "take the House" warriors.

We must bring the budgeting process back. This is the case whether you support Progressive, Conservative, or Moderate policies. We propose legislation and just hope the finances work out. That is why we have more debt than any nation has ever had in the history of the world (not hyperbole).
Bring America Back to Energy INDEPENDENCE aka American Oil from American Soil!

Defund China and bring back American manufacturing.

Empower people over government to include in our education system (parent's rights), medical decisions (I am against mandates), and against big tech!
Fiscal Policies: We need budgeting and planning. We cannot just fund one or two years at-a-time with an OMNIBUS bill. China looks through a century-long lens and we don't plan ahead by even one year.

We need to chip away at the debt. It is currently so high that they US Government **would not be able to afford** the interest on the debt if rates increased.

We need to bring the classical amendment process back to Congress. Without it, no one can offer meaningful modifications to improve legislation.

There is room for meaningful criminal justice reform that does mean de-funding the police. We should look at Portugal's great success with treating addiction as a medical issue as opposed to a criminal issue. Their recidivism rate is low as are their overdose deaths. Punish people who harm others, but let's help those who feel trapped and hopeless rejoin society.

End civil asset forfeiture.

Immigration and counter trafficking efforts at the US-Mexico border as well as fighting China and their efforts to brain wash the youth of our nation by infiltrating the Education system and exploiting social media. Right now we cannot even begin to discuss issues among one another as a majority of main stream social media apps are heavily censored and information is selectively either boosted or shadow banned. One of my first efforts will be to write legislation to treat social media like a public utility vs an app. Until we get social media under control, we will never be able to have real conversations with one another.
I really admire Sarah Palin but I also am very proud to say that I am friends with and look up to many members of the House Freedom Caucus. Jim Jordan in particular. He is a wonderful example of what a Congressional Representative should be. He reminds me of the quote by Abraham Lincoln "Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.”
Integrity and a moral compass. I am really sick of seeing people in politics lie through their teeth to get elected. I also don't like the smear campaigns that people have to resort too. I believe that the best way to get elected and the most important thing any elected official can do for their constituents is be honest. You guys wouldn't believe some of the stuff I have seen while running for office. Integrity goes far... not just in politics but in life and its important for an elected official to have that.
I am a leader but I also listen. I think listening is one of the most important qualities a leader can have. Respect is something that cannot be demanded... it has to be earned. That is something i learned in the military and something I will continue to show to my constituents and those that work along side me. I also have a lot of life experience. Many people want to go to Washington DC and pass legislation but do they truly understand the impacts that their legislation will have? I grew up in very abnormal circumstances. I can connect with people and that is important for anyone looking to change our country for the better.
Constituent services and upholding and defending the constitution of the United States of America. Those are the two most important things any elected representative can do. I can tell you that here in Pinellas, there is serious lack of Veteran services as our previous representative used veteran's more for photo ops than anything else. I would like to bring back that service to those that have sacrificed so much for our country. I want to open up an office either at or near Bay Pines.
I want people to know that I was a humanitarian, a thought leader, and a freedom fighter. I want my future children to know that I did what I did for them but I want the nation to know that it was an honor and a privilege serving them. Politics can be so nasty. Its a lot for the family... even friends, but if good people refuse to run because of the attacks they receive, then we will only continue on a downward spiral. I love this country and I believe sometimes personal sacrifice is necessary to do the right thing.
Bill Clinton testifying to congress for the Monica Lewinski scandal. I was about 6 years old. All I remember was Bill Clinton red on camera and her telling me to go to my room. Now I know why. Haha.
After high school I enlisted in the United States Air Force. My AFSC was 1C751 aka Airfield Management. I had this job for 6 years (5 Years active duty/1 year at the Guard). I also met my husband Andy in the military. Joining the military was the best decision I could have ever hoped to make at such a young age and I miss it every single day.
The Bible... because it shows you that there is something after this "life."
Doja Cat- Vegas It's from the new Elvis movie and it is magnificent. :)
I recently lost my father in an auto accident in January. It was one of the hardest things I had to deal with. My dad really struggled with substance abuse/jail for a majority of my life. He moved out to Florida about 10 years ago and got clean. It was the first time that I really got to spend time with my dad. When I lost him it broke my heart. I believe in God and I am a christian... but it was hard. That experience taught me about how precious life is... and is really part of the reason I have been able to navigate the attacks I receive in politics. When you go through something like that it changes how you view life.
The concept and way that our founding father's engineered the checks and balances. The way the engineered the foundation and skeleton of our government is something you cannot find anywhere else but the United States. It is a prime reason for why we are the greatest country in the world. I only hope that we have not gone too far to where we can no longer recover. I am worried for my future children and the youth of this nation. If we do not take drastic action now, we will lose this country forever. Similar to how Rome fell.
No. In fact I think the last thing we need right now is more people who spent most of their adult life in DC being elected to Congress. We need more normal people in office. People that actually know what it's like to run a business and work normal jobs. It is absolutely absurd to me that congress professionally legislates. That is the last thing our founding father's ever imagined congress would become.
Big tech censorship and the rise of China. These two issues actually go hand in hand largely because the CCP uses apps like Tik Tok to brainwash the younger generations and apps like Facebook are catering to the CCP out of silicon valley. If you even try to talk about communism on social media you are labeled "extremist" or a threat. I was the ONLY candidate of both Democrats and Republicans in 2020 to be censored on social media. My campaign sued Twitter and when the cause was brought before the FEC, THE FEC said it was NOT THEIR JOB to enforce election law... so whose job is it? Needless to say our regulations with the FEC regarding fair use for candidates are out of date. This is only the tip of the ice berg. There have been many non-partisan watch dog groups that have said big tech censorship is an absolute threat to any constitutional republic. We are seeing that unfold as we speak.
I am for term limits and have taken the term limit pledge. I also think that a majority of Congress will never term limit themselves so I support a convention of states.
I have to date in this primary done thousands of phone calls and my team has knocked over 15,000 doors. One interaction that stuck with me was pretty funny. I called someone while phone banking and when he answered, he didn't think it was actually me. He thought I was a robot. So he tried to test me on the phone and when he found out it was me, he about screamed on the phone with excitement. I ended up having about a 30 minute convo with him and he told me in the 63 years he has been alive, I was the first politician that had ever called him. I get that reaction a lot and it means something to me. It tells me that I am making a difference in the lives of the people I am hoping to represent and that they know that I will be there for them. He then proceeded to tell me that I got the vote of him and all 15 of his family members. :)
Yes, however, I do not believe that you should sell your country out in the process. There is a line you need to draw and I'm sick an tired of Congress adding a ton of pork into bills for their pet projects... ESPECIALLY when we have inflation at an all time high.
The power of the purse is the way DC works. I happen to be a wonderful fundraiser but the good news is, I'm for the people... not beltway Washington DC.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from three outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato's Crystal Ball. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[6]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[7][8][9]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Florida in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 16, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred fifty-two candidates filed to run for Florida's 28 U.S. House districts, including 58 Democrats and 94 Republicans. That's 5.43 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.86 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Florida gaining one U.S. House district. The 152 candidates who filed to run this year were a decade-high. One hundred fourteen candidates ran in 2020, 104 in 2018, 100 in 2016, 75 in 2014, and 89 in 2012.

A total of eight incumbents ran in districts different from the ones they represented before the election.

Two incumbents from different parties filed to run against each other in the 2nd district. Rep. Al Lawson (D), who represented the 5th district, filed to run against 2nd district incumbent Rep. Neal Dunn (R) in the general election.

Four incumbents did not run for re-election. Rep. Charlie Crist (D), who represented the 13th district, ran for governor, and Rep. Val Demings (D), who represented the 10th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D), who represented the 7th district, and Rep. Ted Deutch (D), who represented the 22nd district, retired.

Six seats were open, including Crist's, Demings', and Murphy's. The three remaining open seats were the 4th, the 15th, and the 23rd. Rep. John Rutherford (R), who represented the 4th district, ran in the 5th this year, and Rep. Scott Franklin (R), who represented the 15th district, ran in the 18th. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who represented the 23rd district, ran in the 25th.

2016

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia rated this race as a race to watch. It was previously rated as a battleground, but due to court-ordered redistricting, the seat became much more Democratic. Incumbent David Jolly (R) sought re-election in 2016. He initially planned to pursue a U.S. Senate bid, but he dropped out of the race in preparation for incumbent Marco Rubio's entry. Jolly was defeated by former Governor Charlie Crist (D) in the general election on November 8, 2016. Jolly defeated Mark Bircher in the Republican primary on August 30, 2016.[15][16][17][18][19][20]
