What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jennifer Adams (D)

See above.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Jennifer Adams (D)

As a member of Congress, I would aspire to leave a legacy of collaboration, integrity, and being a champion for teamwork and positive change. I would want to be remembered as someone who prioritized the needs of constituents and worked tirelessly to bridge divides between differing viewpoints. Additionally, I would hope to inspire future lawmakers and our next generation of leaders to prioritize bipartisanship and to foster a political climate where dialogue is encouraged over divisiveness. Creating lasting change requires not only sound legislation but also the ability to bring people together to work towards common goals. Ultimately, my legacy would be about empowering individuals and communities to come together to thrive in an inclusive and inspiring society.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Jennifer Adams (D)

Compromise is crucial for fostering a productive environment in Congress. It encourages dialogue and understanding among lawmakers who may have differing priorities and ideologies. Through compromise, we can address pressing issues by blending ideas and creating policies that resonate with a wider audience. This approach often results in more comprehensive solutions that are less likely to be overturned by future administrations as they enjoy broader support. Ultimately, compromise is about recognizing our shared goals and working together to achieve them, even if it means making some sacrifices for the greater good of us all along the way.

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.
• 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.

Noteworthy ballot measures

See also: Florida 2024 ballot measures

Two notable ballot measures were on the November 5, 2024, ballot in Florida. One would legalize marijuana possession under three ounces (Amendment 3), and the other would establish a constitutional right to abortion before fetal viability (Amendment 4). A 60% supermajority vote is required for the approval of both amendments.

Observers and officials commented on whether the amendments would increase turnout statewide.

• Wendy Sartory Link, the Supervisor of Elections for Palm Beach County, said: “A presidential election gets people excited and brings people out. But you might have folks who may not have cared as much or been as motivated to get out to vote for a president or all of the other races. Now, these amendments might just drive them out.”

• Brad Coker, the CEO of the Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy firm, said of Amendment 4: "It'll bring out younger voters of all kinds and more white, female voters, both groups which lean heavy Democratic... It’ll definitely help turn out voters in what for many was looking like a lackluster choice in the presidential race between Biden and Trump.”

• Florida House Minority Leader Fentrice Driskell (D) said: “With voters paying more attention to down-ballot races, I’m optimistic we can have a reverse coattails effect where we start to drive turnout and help improve the numbers at the presidential level.”

• Republican pollster Ryan Tyson disputed the idea that the amendments would increase turnout for Democrats, saying of Amendment 4: "Nobody is trying to say that abortion doesn’t animate their base to turn out — we’ve seen that everywhere... However, we haven’t seen them turn out voters that wouldn’t have already turned out, like in a presidential year."

• Sen. Marco Rubio (R) said of Amendment 4: “People are going to vote, they’re going to come out and vote and I don’t think [the abortion rights measure] is going to change any turnout patterns.”

Amendment 3

See also: Florida Amendment 3, Marijuana Legalization Initiative (2024)

A "yes" vote supported legalizing marijuana for adults 21 years old and older and allowing individuals to possess up to three ounces of marijuana.

A "no" vote opposed legalizing marijuana for adult use in Florida.

  Arguments

  • Smart & Safe Florida: "The industry is sustainable and growing. In 2020, when the state lost more than 400,000 jobs, Florida’s cannabis industry added 15,000 employees. ... Tax revenues from the legal cannabis industry for federal and state governments are projected to reach $4.06 billion in 2025, according to New Frontier data. ... There is no evidence that legalizing marijuana for medical or recreational use at the state level, as 37 states already have done, has boosted underage consumption from the regulated marketplace. The continued black market sale of marijuana perpetuates a culture of criminality. ... If adult-use cannabis is legalized, Florida users will have accountability, transparency, and regulations in place to ensure products are not laced with or contain potentially deadly chemicals."
  • Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers: "It’s all about improving access. We came into this with a mission to provide access to high-quality products that are safe and have an appropriate value proposition to give folks control over their – in the original days – medical journey. I don’t think that changes here. I mean, in effect we are at our core about expanding the opportunity for access to safe legal product, which is what this would allow us to continue to do."
  • The Bellamy Brothers: "As we travel the country, we see the benefits of adult use and as Florida residents we love the ‘freedom state’ moniker and believe that Florida needs to join the millions of Americans whose adults are free to use cannabis without fear of being incarcerated."
  • Florida trial lawyer John Morgan: "I am putting my name and my heart into passing Amendment 3 and believe now is the time to treat marijuana the same as we treat beer, wine and spirits. Passing Amendment 3 will create tens of thousands of new jobs, generate hundreds of millions for our state each year, and save taxpayers money by not having to pay to prosecute simple crimes for possession. I encourage Florida voters to join me in standing up for freedom, for common-sense laws, for the people and for Amendment 3."
  • Former President Donald Trump (R): "As I have previously stated, I believe it is time to end needless arrests and incarcerations of adults for small amounts of marijuana for personal use. We must also implement smart regulations, while providing access for adults, to safe, tested product. As a Floridian, I will be voting YES on Amendment 3 this November. As President, we will continue to focus on research to unlock the medical uses of marijuana to a Schedule 3 drug, and work with Congress to pass common sense laws, including safe banking for state authorized companies, and supporting states rights to pass marijuana laws, like in Florida, that work so well for their citizens."
  • Bradford County Sheriff Gordon Smith: "“I’ve probably incarcerated more people for misdemeanor amounts of marijuana than anybody else. I’m tough on crime ... Getting a medical marijuana card has made [my brother] a human being again, where I can pick up the phone and call and talk things he could never talk about before. I just think we need to refocus our efforts. Regulate it. Take the sin tax. Put it toward the effort of education."
  • State Sen. Joe Gruters (R-22): "Supporting Amendment 3 is a common-sense decision that prioritizes individual freedom, health, safety and economic growth. By legalizing recreational marijuana for adults, we can give Floridians access to safe products, generate significant revenue for critical public services and create new job opportunities for Floridians.

  Arguments

  • U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): "Regardless of how someone feels about abortion or marijuana, I don’t believe that those issues should be resolved in the state constitution
  • Nick Garulay of medical marijuana dispensary My Florida Green: "The medical patient doesn't belong in the same arena as the recreational. Although recreational will use it for medical purposes. But it does get a little convoluted and confusing, and that's the whole reason we want to try to keep it as separate as possible. It's not fair for a recreational bill or movement to step on the heads of the people who are sick, who are debilitated, who are funding these dispensaries. Those dispensaries are taking that money to foot a bill to create a recreational movement to create a profit."
  • Florida Solicitor General Henry Whitaker: "This carefully curated ballot summary misleads in ways that, though sometimes subtle, are likely to influence voters — and to do so in a way that entrenches the sponsor’s monopolistic stranglehold on the marijuana market to the detriment of Floridians. The initiative should be stricken."
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R): "[The initiatives] are very, very extreme. Once voters figure out how radical both of those are, they’re going to fail. It’s basically a license to have it anywhere you want. So no time, place and manner restrictions. This state will start to smell like marijuana in our cities and towns."
  • Vote No on 3 Spokeswoman Sarah Bascom: "Amendment 3 will have disastrous downstream consequences that will turn our state into an east coast version of California. It will threaten the health and safety of every community in Florida by allowing drug dealers to run rampant with zero consequences, creating a dangerous explosion in the black market, and forcing families to completely alter their lives to avoid exposure to secondhand smoke."
  • U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL): "I know that marijuana is a gateway drug. My brother just died in the last few months, starting with marijuana and he ended up struggling with alcohol and drugs, so I don’t support it."
  • Donna Shalala, former U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary: "The marijuana industry has taken a page out of Big Tobacco’s playbook by advertising high-potency, kid-friendly products. To protect the next generation, I urge my fellow Floridians to reject corporate marijuana commercialization and join me in opposing Amendment 3. Big Tobacco wants to trick the American public again by pushing for marijuana legalization. Even those who support marijuana should vote no on the poorly written Amendment 3."

Amendment 4

See also: Florida Amendment 4, Right to Abortion Initiative (2024)

A "yes" vote supported adding the following language to the Florida Constitution’s Declaration of Rights: “… no law shall prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider.” Amendment 4 maintained the existing constitutional provision that permitted a law requiring parents to be notified before a minor can receive an abortion.

A "no" vote opposed amending the Florida Constitution's Declaration of Rights to provide that the state cannot "... prohibit, penalize, delay, or restrict abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the patient’s health, as determined by the patient’s healthcare provider."

  Arguments

  • Faith in Public Life Action: "Faith leaders across Florida are committed to loving our neighbors by protecting their freedom to make the best decisions for themselves, their families and their communities. Our beliefs implore us to respect the sacredness of our ability to discern right action particularly in complex matters around our reproductive health. This stance is not rooted in politics, but in our unwavering commitment to loving our neighbors by protecting their dignity and agency. People of faith who believe in justice and community must be on the frontlines fighting for accessible and comprehensive reproductive care to protect the most vulnerable in our state. This is why Faith in Public Life Action is calling on people of all faiths to vote YES on Amendment 4."
  • U.S. President Joe Biden (D): "Next week one of the nation’s most extreme anti-abortion law is going to take effect here in Florida. It criminalizes reproductive healthcare before a woman even knows that they are pregnant." Biden discussed other abortion rights measures appearing on statewide ballots and said, "This November, you can add Florida to that list. Are you ready to do that? You’ve gotta show up to vote."
  • Floridians Protecting Freedom: "The overwhelming majority of Floridians think we should all have the freedom to make our own personal health care decisions without interference from politicians. Despite that, politicians in Florida just signed the most extreme abortion ban in the nation. It bans abortion before most people even realize they are pregnant. Help put these decisions back in the hands of Florida families and their doctors, not extreme politicians. There are so many reasons why someone may make the deeply personal decision to have an abortion – maybe their birth control failed, or they were a victim of rape or incest, or carrying a pregnancy would endanger their lives. Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to interfere in this personal decision or to prevent nurses and doctors from treating their patients."
  • Senate Minority Leader Lauren Book (D-35): "The fight for freedom has never been more critical. Despite the fact that abortion is no longer a partisan issue for Americans, elected Republicans across the US are working to take away access to women’s healthcare. We must not back down!"
  • Anna Hockhammer, executive director of the Florida Women’s Freedom Coalition: "Amendment 4 is very explicit that it doesn’t change the Legislature’s existing constitutional authorities vis á vis parental rights. We support parental rights. We want parents to be involved in making the health care decisions for their children. I would argue that Amendment 4 gives more power to parents and guardians because it restores the decision making to patients, their families, and their health care teams and their doctors and takes it out of the hands of politicians and government. Amendment 4 does nothing to preclude the state from regulating medical services the way that it does with every other procedure. You don’t go to a dentist to get open heart surgery, and your message therapist isn’t your dermatologist. Nothing in Amendment 4 precludes the state from making sure that competent, trained doctors and other health care professionals are the ones who can provide abortion access."
  • Laura Goodhue, executive director of the Florida Alliance of Planned Parenthood Affiliates: "Politicians don’t want us to take our power back, so they’re trying to rig the system, because they know in a fair fight, they’ll lose. Floridians are fed up with the government meddling where they have no business — from accessing abortion to accessing the ballot."

  Arguments

  • Florida Family Action: "The sponsors of this extreme amendment want to legalize abortion up to the moment of birth and to repeal all limitations and regulations on abortion – even safety regulations that protect women – because they want to make Florida the home of late-term abortions in the Southeast."
  • Florida Agency for Health Care Administration: "Florida cares about women and children. ... Florida is protecting life. We must keep Florida from becoming an abortion tourism destination state."
  • Attorney General Ashley B. Moody (R): "As just one example of how misleading this initiative is, the initiative creates a right to abortion through 'viability.' ... The sponsor has gone so far attempting to deceive Floridians as to not post any information on its website on what it means by viability and when the right to abortion, which it is attempting to enshrine in our Constitution, ends. ... While I personally would not vote for this initiative no matter what definition of 'viability' it was using, I know that to some voters, it is material to their vote – whether you are talking about an abortion in the first trimester or at the end of the second trimester."
  • Florida Voice for the Unborn: "The amendment mandates unlimited abortion in Florida! The amendment requires the return of barbaric partial-birth abortions in Florida! The amendment overrides parental consent for an abortion in Florida! The amendment encourages the expansion of abortion business in Florida! The amendment prohibits reasonable protections for women's health in Florida!"
  • Dr. Grazie Pozo Christie, senior fellow for the Catholic Association: "According to this ballot amendment, anybody could perform an abortion. For instance, a girl could go to a Planned Parenthood office and be given the chemical abortion pill or a prescription for the pill by the receptionist. So there is no clinical oversight at all over something that is a very dangerous [procedure]."
  • State Executive Committee of the Republican Party of Florida: "Radical activists have collected petition signatures that would place on the November ballot a constitutional amendment that would enshrine abortions … which would bypass the delegated authority of the Legislature and override the right to life laws in effect in the State of Florida. ... The Republican Party of Florida supports Attorney General Ashley Moody’s work of legally challenging both this amendment and the efforts of the abortionists to place this amendment on the November ballot."
  • Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R): "[The initiatives] are very, very extreme. Once voters figure out how radical both of those are, they’re going to fail."
  • Lynda Bell, President of Florida Right to Life and co-founder of Do No Harm Florida: "The next step may be to force taxpayers to pay for abortions. [Abortion rights supporters in Michigan] are suing to force taxpayers to fund abortions."
  • Life First PC: "Amendment 4 in Florida is a highly controversial proposal that seeks to significantly alter the state's existing abortion laws. If passed, this amendment would permit abortion up to the point of birth, a drastic departure from current restrictions that generally limit abortion after the viability of the fetus, except in cases of medical necessity. Additionally, it would grant minors the ability to undergo abortion procedures without parental consent, undermining parental rights and involvement in their children's critical healthcare decisions. Furthermore, Amendment 4 would expand the scope of medical professionals authorized to refer women for abortions beyond licensed abortionists and women’s health professionals. This expansion raises concerns regarding the quality of care and expertise involved in such referrals, potentially compromising the safety and well-being of women seeking abortion services. Amendment 4 presents significant implications for women’s health, parental rights, and the protection of unborn life in Florida, stirring debate and prompting advocacy efforts from pro-life advocates. We need your help to turn out 40.1% of voters to vote NO on amendment 4."
  • Informed Church: "[The amendment] will permanently embed abortion for any reason, at any stage, by any health care provider into the Florida constitution. This measure would override all of the Current Protections & Regulations already in place, including parental right to consent. Amendment 4 is largely funded by Planned Parenthood, the ACLU and other organizations pushing for no-limit abortions in the state of Florida. They purposely use deceptive language to make the amendment confusing and vague. In fact, a similar amendment in Ohio that recently passed had 26% of evangelicals voting in favor of it because they simply did not understand the language and were uninformed."
  • Florida Voters Against Extremism: "Amendment 4 pretends to 'just bring things back to how they were with Roe vs. Wade'– but it actually goes much further – allowing for abortion throughout all 9 months of pregnancy with no protections for the unborn baby. Unlike other Amendments, Amendment 4 provides ZERO definitions of key words like 'government interference', 'viability', 'health care provider', 'patient’s health' – so voters won’t even know what they’re voting on. This creates huge loopholes that will result in years of litigation and legal uncertainty. ... Amendment 4 gives abortion clinics a rubber stamp to approve late-term, third trimester abortions. ... Amendment 4 would make abortion the only medical procedure that minors could undergo without parental consent."
  • U.S. Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL): "I don’t support the ballot initiative on abortion because it’s extreme. I think the Democrats are, I believe, extreme on this. They support abortion up until the moment of birth, they support allowing a healthy baby born alive to die just by leaving him in the corner."
  • Donald Trump (R): "I think six weeks, you need more time than six weeks. I disagreed with that right from the early primaries. When I heard about it, I disagreed with it. At the same time, the Democrats are radical because the nine months is just a ridiculous situation where you can do an abortion in the ninth month. All of that stuff is unacceptable, so I'll be voting no (on Amendment 4) for that reason."
  • Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins: "Floridians face a stark choice this November, when unlimited abortion is on the ballot. Make no mistake, the Democrats are going to use abortion as a Get-Out-The-Vote tactic to run from their terrible record on the border, economy, and foreign policy. The Pro-Life Generation will stand with vulnerable women and preborn babies to ensure it doesn’t happen."
  • Florida Physicians Against Amendment 4: "This amendment violates our commitment to excellent health care for women and children because it would: Permit abortion through all nine months of pregnancy; Permit non-physicians to determine when and if an abortion can be performed, even in late pregnancy; Eliminate parental consent for minors; and; Remove common sense maternal health and safety regulations."

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Florida in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 7, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred three candidates ran for Florida’s 28 U.S. House districts, including 42 Democrats and 61 Republicans. That’s 3.68 candidates per district, less than in the previous three election cycles. There were 5.43 candidates per district in 2022, 4.22 candidates per district in 2020, and 3.86 in 2018.

The 8th Congressional District was the only open district, meaning no incumbents filed to run. That’s the fewest open seats in Florida since 2014 when no seats were open. Incumbent Rep. Bill Posey (R-8th) did not run for re-election because he is retired from public office.

Seven candidates—incumbent Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-23rd) and six Republicans—ran for the 23rd Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in 2024.

Thirty primaries—nine Democratic and 21 Republican—were contested in 2024. Thirty-eight primaries were contested in 2022, 29 primaries were contested in 2020, and 31 primaries were contested in 2018.

Fifteen incumbents—two Democrats and 13 Republicans—were in contested primaries in Florida in 2024. That’s less than the 17 incumbents in contested primaries in 2022 but more than the 10 incumbents in contested primaries in 2020.

The 20th Congressional District is guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans will appear on the ballot. Democrats filed to run in every congressional district, meaning none are guaranteed to Republicans.
