As a result of litigation, the congressional districts of Florida (more) and Virginia (more) have been redrawn.
Although you may be voting in a different district in November, to determine your current representative in Congress you must look at who your district selected in 2014.
Therefore we will continue to show the districts as they were during the 2014 elections until the next class of representatives takes office on January 3, 2017. To prepare for voting in the 2016 elections, please consult other resources.
