Rep. Kathy Castor (D-Fla.) is expected to keep her place in Florida’s US House 14th race, overcoming a challenge from Republican Mike Beltran, Decision Desk HQ reported Tuesday night.

Castor faced a strong redistricting attempt by Republicans to gain one of four House seats. This win may signal Democrats could regain control of the House.

Castor was first elected to Congress in 2007, and has represented the state’s 14th district since 2013.

Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis supported redistricting in the state not long after similar efforts in Texas proved successful in 2025. DeSantis called for a special session on congressional redistricting in January of this year.

Beltran received the support of President Donald Trump in September but distanced himself from the president as the midterms drew nearer. He also removed mentions of the president from his website.
