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, August 20, 2026, the Associated Press projected Navy veteran Dan Green won Florida's 9th Congressional District GOP primary, securing 14,740 votes to defeat six other candidates in a crowded field.
- Republican-Led state legislators redrew the 9th District boundaries in May, reportedly doubling its size and eliminating seats previously held by Democrats, a move critics allege violates state constitutional prohibitions on partisan gerrymandering.
- Facing incumbent Democrat Darren Soto on November 3, Green pledged to "safeguard our constitutional government," while criticizing gridlock in Washington, D.C. as a barrier to American prosperity.
- National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson praised Green as a candidate with "what it takes to deliver for the Sunshine State," signaling party backing for the midterm race.
- The Florida Supreme Court denied a request to stop the new district boundaries, leaving the map in place as Republicans seek to expand their House majority in the 2026 elections.
