Dan Green Wins Republican Nomination for U.S. House in Florida's 9th Congressional District
The race was decided by 589 votes in a seven-candidate field, and Green will face Democrat Darren Soto in November, the Associated Press said.
On Thursday, the Associated Press projected Navy veteran Dan Green won Florida's 9th Congressional District GOP primary, securing 14,740 votes in a crowded seven-candidate field.
Republican-Led state legislators redrew the 9th District boundaries in May, nearly doubling its size and eliminating seats previously held by Democrats, a move critics allege violates constitutional prohibitions on partisan gerrymandering.
Facing incumbent Democrat Darren Soto on November 3, Green pledged to "safeguard our constitutional government" while criticizing decades of congressional gridlock that strains national finances.
National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson praised Green as a candidate with "what it takes to deliver for the Sunshine State" in November's midterm elections.
While the Florida Supreme Court denied a request to block the new boundaries, the race remains a key test for Republicans seeking to expand their House majority in 2026.
