Miami Fort Lauderdale, FL, June 8, 2026 —
As Florida’s qualifying deadline nears, five state House districts characterized by slim voter margins are currently set to be uncontested by either the Republican or Democratic party. Statewide, 25 House races will not feature opposition from one of the two major parties. However, these five districts stand out due to their historically competitive nature.
Among these districts is House District 114 in Miami-Dade County. This district, which includes areas such as Coral Gables and Miami, is currently under Republican control.
The approaching deadline means that candidates must file to challenge incumbents or face a situation where their party does not field a candidate in these specific races.
