General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

  • Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
  • Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
  • Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[3]
  • Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[4][5][6]

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Florida in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 16, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred fifty-two candidates filed to run for Florida's 28 U.S. House districts, including 58 Democrats and 94 Republicans. That's 5.43 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.86 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Florida gaining one U.S. House district. The 152 candidates who filed to run this year were a decade-high. One hundred fourteen candidates ran in 2020, 104 in 2018, 100 in 2016, 75 in 2014, and 89 in 2012.

A total of eight incumbents ran in districts different from the ones they represented before the election.

Two incumbents from different parties filed to run against each other in the 2nd district. Rep. Al Lawson (D), who represented the 5th district, filed to run against 2nd district incumbent Rep. Neal Dunn (R) in the general election.

Four incumbents did not run for re-election. Rep. Charlie Crist (D), who represented the 13th district, ran for governor, and Rep. Val Demings (D), who represented the 10th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D), who represented the 7th district, and Rep. Ted Deutch (D), who represented the 22nd district, retired.

Six seats were open, including Crist's, Demings', and Murphy's. The three remaining open seats were the 4th, the 15th, and the 23rd. Rep. John Rutherford (R), who represented the 4th district, ran in the 5th this year, and Rep. Scott Franklin (R), who represented the 15th district, ran in the 18th. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who represented the 23rd district, ran in the 25th. The six open seats this year were four more than in 2020, when two seats were open, and two more than in 2018, when four seats were open. Seven seats were open in 2016, and no seats were open in 2014.

Sixteen candidates—ten Democrats and six Republicans—ran to replace Demings in the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.

There were 38 contested primaries this year, a decade-high. That was nine more than in 2020, when there were 29 contested primaries, and seven more than in 2018, when there were 31 contested primaries. Fourteen of the contested primaries were Democratic primaries. That was four more than in 2020, when there were ten contested Democratic primaries, and five fewer than in 2018, when there were 19. Twenty-four of the contested primaries were Republican primaries. That number, a decade-high, was five more than in 2020, when there were 19 contested Republican primaries, and 12 more than in 2018, when there were 12.

There were 17 incumbents in contested primaries this year, also a decade-high. That number was seven more than in 2020, when ten incumbents faced contested primaries, and six more than in 2018, when 11 incumbents did. Six incumbents faced no primary challengers this year. Three seats—the 5th, the 6th, and the 18th districts—were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed. No seats were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
