Florida's 11th congressional district

Encyclopedia : F : FL : FLO : Florida's 11th congressional district

Florida's 11th congressional district encompasses most of the city of Tampa and its suburbs and the shoreline of southeastern Hillsborough County. It also includes two areas in other counties: urban neighborhoods of south St. Petersburg in Pinellas County and neighborhoods in and around Bradenton in Manatee County. It is currently represented by Democratic US Representative Jim Davis, who will run for Governor of Florida in 2006. The leading contender to replace Davis is Democrat Kathy Castor.

The 11th district leans more Democratic than the surrounding areas. Though Hillsborough County twice voted for George W. Bush, the 11th district went for Al Gore and John Kerry.
