Democrat Kathy Castor wins reelection to U.S. House in Florida’s 14th Congressional District

Democrat Kathy Castor won election Tuesday to the U.S. House of Representatives representing Florida’s 14th Congressional District, defeating Republican Mike Beltran. Castor persuaded voters to grant her an 11th term in a newly drawn, Republican-friendly district over Beltran, a former state legislator and attorney. The Democratic incumbent criticized the redistricting effort as illegal and voiced her support for former President Joe Biden’s infrastructure law. The Associated Press declared Castor the winner at 8:13 p.m. EST.
