History

The 22nd Congressional District was created after the 1990 U.S. Census. Republican E. Clay Shaw, Jr. was elected in the first election in the district in 1992 and was reelected for six terms until he lost to Democrat Ron Klein in 2006. Klein served for two terms before being defeated by Republican Allen West in 2010 in one of the most expensive U.S. House campaigns for both parties that year.

The 22nd Congressional District was the center of the disputed 2000 presidential election in Florida and the ensuing recount.
