Republican Austin Rogers won Florida's 2nd Congressional District over Democrat Amanda Green, taking 52.2% of the vote to Green's 47.8%. The results are unofficial and cover all 16 counties in the district.
Why it matters
The race underscores how Republican strength in rural and Republican-leaning counties offset Democratic gains in Tallahassee-area counties in a district that Trump carried by roughly 18 points in 2024. Democrats reclaimed control of the U.S. House and posted gains nationally, according to the same results cycle.
Rogers won with 160,746 votes (52.2%) to Green's 146,862 (47.8%), a margin of roughly 13,900 votes, compared with Trump's roughly 18-point win in the district in 2024. The count is unofficial and has not been certified.
The players
Austin Rogers
A 35-year-old Bay County attorney and Republican who won Florida's 2nd Congressional District.
Amanda Green
The Democratic candidate who carried Leon and Gadsden counties, centered on the Tallahassee area, in her loss to Rogers.
Neal Dunn
The five-term U.S. Representative for Florida's 2nd District who is retiring and whose seat Rogers will fill.
The details
Rogers won by posting large margins in rural and Republican-leaning counties outside Leon and Gadsden counties, carrying 14 of the district's 16 counties. Green carried Leon County 83,344 to 39,424 and Gadsden County 12,415 to 5,169, while Rogers carried his home county of Bay 47,721 to 22,164.
Timeline

Political Context
Rogers's win keeps Florida's 2nd District within the Republican column that Trump carried by roughly 18 points in 2024, even as Democrat Amanda Green ran strongly in Tallahassee-area counties. The Republican foundation of the district allowed Rogers to offset those Democratic gains across the rest of the 16-county area.
A Republican win in this district keeps the seat in GOP hands when Rogers takes office Jan. 3, succeeding five-term Rep. Neal Dunn. The results are unofficial until certification.
The takeaway
Voters in Florida's 2nd District chose continuity in a Republican-leaning seat, while Democrats continued to build support in Tallahassee-area counties. Watch for certification to confirm the final count.
What happens next
Rogers is scheduled to take office Jan. 3, succeeding retiring U.S. Rep. Neal Dunn.
