The 2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Florida were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2016 to elect the 27 U.S. representatives from the state of Florida, one from each of the state's 27 congressional districts. The elections coincided with the elections of other federal and state offices, including President of the United States. A lawsuit challenging the districts under Florida's Congressional District Boundaries Amendment (Fair Districts Amendment) was filed in 2012 and was resolved in 2015. The results of the lawsuit had major repercussions on the congressional races in Florida in 2016. The primaries were held on August 30.
Redistricting lawsuit

In 2014, Circuit Court Judge Terry Lewis threw out the congressional map for violating Florida's 2010 Amendment 6 to the state Constitution, commonly called the Fair Districts Amendment.[2] The ruling specifically applied to FL-5 and FL-10. Subsequent rulings by higher courts and concluding in the Supreme Court of Florida also struck down FL-13, FL-21, FL-22 and FL-26, which also necessitated redraws of varying scale to the districts surrounding them.[3]
District 1
Republican primary
Republican Jeff Miller has represented the district since being elected in 2001. Miller considered running for the U.S. Senate.[4] On July 30, 2015, Miller decided not to run for the open Senate seat and announced he would run for reelection.[5] In March 2016, Miller announced he would not run for reelection.[6]
State Senator Greg Evers had expressed his interest in running for this seat if Miller had run for the Senate.[7][8] In the August 30 primary, Matt Gaetz defeated Rebekah Johansen Bydlak, Cris Dosev, Greg Evers, Gary Fairchild, Brian Frazier, Mark Wichern, and James Zumwalt for the nomination.[9]

District 2
Redistricting significantly altered the 2nd, mainly by shifting most of Tallahassee's African American residents to the 5th District. On paper, this made the 2nd heavily Republican. Democrat Gwen Graham represented the district for one term after being elected in 2014, when she beat Republican incumbent Steve Southerland. She did not run for re-election.[21]

District 5
Democratic primary
Democrat Corrine Brown has represented the district and its various permutations since 1993. The court-ordered redistricting significantly altered her district. She had previously represented a district stretching from Jacksonville to Orlando. The new map pushed the 5th well to the north and west, and made it a more compact district stretching from Tallahassee to Jacksonville.
In July 2016, Brown and her chief of staff were indicted on charges of fraud.[40] In the Democratic primary—the real contest in this district—she was defeated by former state senator Al Lawson of Tallahassee.[41]
