HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. – Following Florida’s recent redistricting efforts that reshaped congressional boundaries and created newly configured districts across the state, the race for Florida’s 15th Congressional District is already taking shape. Hernando County Commissioner Steve Champion has officially entered that race, announcing his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives.
Champion, a current Hernando County Commissioner, is vying for the seat in Florida’s 15th Congressional District, which includes parts of Hernando, Pasco, and Citrus counties. The district’s new boundaries were recently redrawn as part of the state’s redistricting process. Champion’s entry into the race brings a local government perspective to the campaign, with his experience as a commissioner serving Hernando County.
The newly drawn congressional map sets the stage for a competitive race in Florida’s 15th Congressional District. The district now encompasses several cities, including Brooksville, Spring Hill, Dade City, Hudson, Weeki Wachee, Zephyrhills, New Port Richey, Inverness, and Crystal River. Voters in these areas will be selecting a new representative in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Champion’s campaign will focus on issues relevant to the district, including economic growth, healthcare, and infrastructure development. As a resident of Hernando County and a current commissioner, Champion aims to bring his knowledge of local issues to the federal level.
