Who is my U.S. representative in FL-05?

I don't have reliable, up-to-date information about who currently represents Florida's 5th congressional district. A few reasons this is tricky:

1. **My knowledge has a cutoff date**, so even if I gave you a name, it could be outdated.

2. **District boundaries change** after redistricting (which happened after the 2020 Census), so FL-05 may cover different areas than it did previously.

3. **Elections happen regularly**, so representatives can change.

**To find your accurate answer, I'd recommend:**

- **house.gov** — Use the "Find Your Representative" tool by entering your ZIP code
- **congress.gov** — Search by state and district
- **house.fl.gov** or the Florida Division of Elections for state-level resources

The "Find Your Representative" tool on house.gov is especially useful because it uses your full address to pinpoint your exact district, which is helpful since district lines don't always follow simple boundaries.

Would you like tips on how to contact your representative once you've identified them?
