U.S. House, District 10
Represents Florida's 10th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives; votes on federal laws and spending. Term: 2 years.
Not on the November ballot. No Republican qualified and the lone write-in candidate failed to qualify, so Rep. Maxwell Frost is re-elected without appearing on the November ballot (Florida Politics, ClickOrlando).
Partly verified. Either the November opponent could not be confirmed from available sources, or only a few positions are documented. Confirm the full candidate list on your county sample ballot; unknown positions are shown as such.
How we verified who is on the ballot
RESOLVED: Maxwell Frost has no November opponent. Florida Politics reported at the June 2026 close of qualifying that Frost 'secures another term in Congress unopposed' ; a syndicated report says no Republican qualified and a prospective write-in, Brent Lawhon, failed to qualify ; . ClickOrlando likewise reported him unopposed at the end of qualifying . The earlier Ballotpedia snippet listing Stuart Farber, Willie Montague and Angela Marie Walls-Windhaus appears to reflect pre-qualifying filings. Under Florida law an unopposed candidate is deemed elected and the race does not appear on the ballot, so voters in the 10th District should not expect to see this contest on Nov. 3; confirm with the Orange County Supervisor of Elections sample ballot. Florida's Legislature passed a new congressional map in the April 2026 special session and the Florida Supreme Court on June 10, 2026 declined (6-1) to block it ; .
