Florida — 27th congressional district

7 candidates have filed

Everyone below has an active candidate registration with the Federal Election Commission for this seat. That is not the ballot. Most of these names will not survive a primary, ballot access is decided state by state, and people qualify for a ballot without an FEC filing and file with the FEC without ever qualifying.

The money under each name is receipts into that candidate's own campaign committee for the 2025–2026 cycle, as the FEC reports them. It is not every dollar spent to elect them: leadership PACs, party committees and independent expenditures all sit outside it, and in a contested seat the outside money can exceed everything shown here. Money is not a position. Nobody's place on the Democratic–Republican scale comes from it — that is counted from roll-call votes and nothing else.

  Where their votes land

  Each scale runs between the two parties. The left end is the side most Democrats took on a set of hand-picked roll-call votes, the right end the side most Republicans took, and Maria Elvira Salazar's marker sits at the share of those votes they cast on the Republican side. Votes that most of both parties agreed on are left out, because they cannot show which side anyone was on.

  Overall

  average of 6 values

  Democratic side86 · Voted with Republicans most of the timeRepublican side

  • Average House Democrat: 2
  • Average House Republican: 98

  0 is the Democratic side of every party-split vote and 100 the Republican side of every one. This is the average of the 6 value positions below that rest on 4 or more votes, each counted once however many votes stand behind it; 4 values below have fewer than 4 votes and are drawn but not counted in it, and 2 values have no votes from Maria Elvira Salazar at all.

  Positions count only the votes this person cast, so two people can be placed on different numbers of votes — the count beside each value says how many. How the votes were chosen, and how each party's side is counted.
