U.S. Representative before election Matt Gaetz Republican Elected U.S. Representative Matt Gaetz Republican

Republican Matt Gaetz, who had represented the district since 2017, was re-elected with 64.6% of the vote in 2020.^[3] He won re-election in 2022.^[4]

The 1st district contains all of Escambia, Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties, as well as the western portion of Walton county. Following redistricting the district shrank somewhat, losing its portion of Holmes County and part of Walton County.

Despite losing by an overwhelming margin, Jones ended up being the biggest overperformer in this election cycle for a Florida congressional candidate when compared to the top of the ticket. Jones outperformed Val Demings, the Democratic nominee for the concurrent U.S. Senate race, by approximately 9 percentage points, and Charlie Crist, the Democratic nominee for Florida governor, by about 11 percentage points within this district's borders. However, this likely had everything to do with the numerous scandals that faced Matt Gaetz.

The boundaries of the district were redrawn from 2020, determined by the 2020 redistricting cycle.

The 4th district (formerly the 5th) was drawn to be much more conservative than on the previous map, losing Tallahassee and some competitive parts of Duval county and gaining the counties of Nassau and Clay. As a result, the east-to-west layout connecting Tallahassee to Jacksonville was removed entirely.
