Republican incumbent John Rutherford is seeking his sixth term in Congress. He faces one challenger in the Republican primary, and there are three candidates in the Democratic primary.
Incumbent Republican Chuck Brannan is term-limited and can’t seek re-election in District 10, which covers Baker, Bradford, Columbia and Union counties, and part of Alachua County. Two Republicans, Chase Brannan and Marshall Rawson, will be in their party’s primary in August. The winner will face the sole Democrat, Merrillee Malwitz Jipson, in the general election in November.
As incumbent Democrat Angie Nixon is running for the U.S. Senate, it’s an open race for House District 13 this year. Two Democrats will be on the ballot for their party’s August primary. No Republicans are in the race, but a write-in candidate did qualify for the general election. That means the race will not become a Universal Primary Contest, and the Democratic primary will remain closed.
Republican Dean Black is seeking re-election in Florida House District 15, and will face a no party affiliation candidate on the general election ballot.
District 1 incumbent Beverly Slough is seeking re-election, and faces one challenger, Kevin Allen. As this is a non-partisan election, the candidates run without party affiliation, and the race appears on the ballot for all voters in District 1. Since there are only two candidates, it will be decided in the August primary.

District 4 commissioner Alyson R. McCullough is seeking re-election, and faces one opponent in the Republican primary, Cheryl Plaugher. As no other candidates qualified for this race, the August election will be a Universal Primary Contest and will appear on the ballots of all voters in the county.
