Democratic U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, Florida's first Puerto Rican member of Congress, won reelection Tuesday and secured a fifth term in the Lower House. Soto, representing Central Florida's 9th Congressional District, held onto his seat with 55.05% of the vote, fending off a challenge from former Osceola County School Board member Thomas Chalifoux, who had the backing of the National Republican Congressional Committee.
"We work every day to deliver for Central Florida," Soto said on a post on his X account. "Thank you to the voters of #FL9 for your continued support! #UnitedWeStand"
