U.S. House District 14

4 candidates are on the November 3, 2026 ballot. The two below are the major-party candidates; the other 2 are listed underneath and are on the ballot too.

DEMINCUMBENT
Kathy Castor
Who they areContext a party label doesn't carry.

Castor has represented Tampa in Congress since 2007 and chaired the House Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. Her campaign site presents a record of bipartisan bills rather than a forward platform, so most issue questions have no published answer.

Beltran is a sitting Florida state representative and a Harvard-trained lawyer running for federal office for the first time. He is unusual among Republicans here in publishing a data-center position, opposing any built without local approval.
