Representative Frederica Wilson, Democratic from Florida

Frederica Wilson

Florida's 24th congressional district

FL-24 Midterms Intelligence

Frederica Wilson sits in one of South Florida’s safest Democratic seats, a Black- and Hispanic-plurality district where coalition politics, not partisan competition, drives outcomes. The seat is D+36 and gave Democrats 68.2%, anchoring Wilson’s long tenure and her emphasis on education, labor, and infrastructure. But the district is not static: a recent R shift of +7 suggests some softness among working-class voters, even as the core electorate remains urban, diverse, and deeply tied to public institutions and service-sector employment.

For advocates, this is a cost-of-living and access district more than an ideological one. Median income is $64,874, but that is squeezed by $1,759 median rent, 23.1% SNAP use, and 16.6% uninsured—clear signals that affordability, schools, transit, health access, and job pathways will land better than abstract messaging. The winning frame is economic dignity through government competence: deliverable benefits, local investment, and protections for families navigating high housing costs and uneven labor-market recovery.

Representative Frederica Wilson represents Florida's 24th congressional district, serving 793,181 constituents. The district has an estimated median household income of $64,874 and an unemployment rate of 6.4%.
