Right to Repair: Any rancher or farmer who owns agricultural equipment should be given full ownership of technology and the freedom to repair at a low cost. Large corporations are holding our small to medium-sized farmers hostage. Spending thousands of dollars, driving hours to the dealership, and waiting in queues to repair equipment that could be easily fixed at home is not realistic. We must ensure that purchases of tools, vehicles, and machinery come with access to diagnostic software to encourage economic competition and keep our rural communities thriving.

Protecting Our Water: In Florida, big businesses are pumping groundwater faster than it can be replenished. While everyday residents pay hard-earned money for water in their homes, large multinational corporations like Nestle exploit our most valuable natural resource at a fraction of the cost to make a profit. We need to make sure these corporations pay their fair share for the water they use. In addition, it's high time we provide federal protection and funding for the springs. Our district is home to the largest concentration of freshwater springs in the world. By involving the federal government in prioritizing their conservation, we can revitalize our local economies and build healthy, safe, and prosperous communities.

Accessible & Affordable Healthcare: Our current healthcare system exists to serve the best interests of corporations, not people. The system is designed to maximize profits at the cost of everyday Americans. We are tired of being bankrupted by prescription drug costs, administration fees, surprise medical bills, and health insurance premiums. In order to make quality medical care accessible to everyone, prescription drug costs must be reduced, while also expanding the current healthcare system to include mental health services and substance dependency programs. Anyone with pre-existing conditions should not be subject to corporate exceptions; regardless of medical history, everyone should have equal access to high-quality healthcare.
Other than the ones I listed as key messages of my campaign, I’m passionate about reproductive freedom, higher education, and public policy that puts everyday people first.
Nothing inspires me more than reading the letters and accounts from the leaders of the Civil Rights movement, including the late representative John Lewis, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., and Malcolm X. There is something about the earnestness in their words that compels me to action every time. I also look up to the many women, such as Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, actress and activist Sophia Bush, and the women of PERIOD, who continue to challenge the status quo, break glass ceilings, and continue to fight for equal rights and fair treatment of women around the world. Anyone who does that is my personal hero and an example that I’d like to follow.
Throughout my life, I’ve been described as a good listener, compassionate, and empathetic. I’m a team player, always looking for ways I can include and collaborate with others. To be a successful officeholder, a representative should be a public servant with these qualities, not someone whose only concerns are power and prestige.
A United States Representative needs to be a Representative of the people, not a Representative of large corporations, DC political consultants, or high-dollar political donors. Someone elected to this office is first responsible for being connected to the community that they serve and actually listening to their constituents. Then they are responsible for taking these concerns to Capitol Hill and turning them into concrete legislation that brings resources and results to their district. A Representative also has the responsibility of upholding the Constitution of the United States and defending the people’s constitutional rights.
I would want to be Leslie Knope. In Parks and Rec, she consistently empowers fellow women, being there for them and helping them achieve their goals. She also never gives up even when the odds are against her. Her passion for her community and the outdoors makes me think of how much I love my city, Gainesville, and its natural beauty. And just like me, Leslie loves being herself and has fun no matter what.
One of our biggest challenges as a nation will be fighting misinformation. While television and social media have had the benefit of making information more accessible to everyone, they’ve also had the negative impact of making “fake news” spread like wildfire. The spread of misinformation about everything from election results to COVID-19 has made our society more divided and distrustful of one another.

Another huge challenge that our nation will face is recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As one of the most devastating public health crises in history, the pandemic exposed the glaring inequities in our society. Eradicating the virus, rebuilding our economy, and getting back to “normal” will take us years of us working together as a nation.

I want to model myself after former US Representative and current Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland. As one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and the first Native American to serve as a Cabinet Secretary, she has shattered glass ceilings. I’m inspired by her story of being a single mom and small business owner who persevered despite adversity. When she won the election to her congressional seat, she fought hard for policies that would benefit the people of her district.
A few months ago, I met Molly. Molly was raised by a single mother who was frequently ill. As a high schooler, she missed school several days a month because her family couldn’t afford menstrual hygiene products for Molly and her three sisters. This story impacted me deeply, making me realize the importance of menstrual equity. If our public schools had the funding to provide free menstrual hygiene products for students, students like Molly wouldn’t have to miss valuable instructional time.

General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. 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.[4]
  • 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.[5][6][7]

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. The six open seats this year were four more than in 2020, when two seats were open, and two more than in 2018, when four seats were open. Seven seats were open in 2016, and no seats were open in 2014.

Sixteen candidates—ten Democrats and six Republicans—ran to replace Demings in the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.

There were 38 contested primaries this year, a decade-high. That was nine more than in 2020, when there were 29 contested primaries, and seven more than in 2018, when there were 31 contested primaries. Fourteen of the contested primaries were Democratic primaries. That was four more than in 2020, when there were ten contested Democratic primaries, and five fewer than in 2018, when there were 19. Twenty-four of the contested primaries were Republican primaries. That number, a decade-high, was five more than in 2020, when there were 19 contested Republican primaries, and 12 more than in 2018, when there were 12.

There were 17 incumbents in contested primaries this year, also a decade-high. That number was seven more than in 2020, when ten incumbents faced contested primaries, and six more than in 2018, when 11 incumbents did. Six incumbents faced no primary challengers this year. Three seats—the 5th, the 6th, and the 18th districts—were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed. No seats were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
