A couple of things worth flagging:

Florida passed a new congressional district map in April 2026 (signed into law May 4), expected to produce a 24–4 Republican-Democratic split among the state's 28 districts, and it's being challenged in court — so FL-05's boundaries could shift before the 2026 election.

Rutherford is running for re-election in 2026, facing primary challengers, with the general election in November.

If you want to double-check that you're actually in FL-05 (boundaries can be redrawn), the House's "Find Your Representative" tool or your state's district map is the most reliable way to confirm.
