A recent poll shows the top four Republican candidates for Florida’s 9th Congressional District—Jorge Martinez, Thomas Chalifoux, Ben Butler, and Dan Green—statistically tied within the margin of error ahead of the August 18 primary. Redistricting by state Republicans shifted the seat into GOP-leaning territory, drawing a crowded seven-candidate field to challenge incumbent Democrat Darren Soto. Limited name recognition, modest fundraising differences among frontrunners, and the absence of a major debate or late endorsement have kept the race fragmented. Higher turnout among specific voting blocs or last-minute campaign events could consolidate support and create separation before ballots are cast.
