WASHINGTON – Attention aspiring members of Congress:

Florida is likely to gain two additional districts following the 2020 census.

That would increase the House delegation to 29 seats from 27.

It is driven by continued population growth. In 2010, just under 19 million people lived in Florida; nearly 21 million do today.
