Voters returned Democrat Darren Soto to Congress in the Nov. 3 General Election in a district created by Florida Republicans as a likely GOP win. Soto, of Kissimmee, garnered 50.2% vote to 49.8% for Vero Beach Republican Dan Green, according to final, unofficial results from the seven county supervisor of elections offices in the massive district. The General Election was the first since Indian River County was brought into the redrawn District 9. Florida's 9th Congressional District now covers 5,500 square miles stretching from urban Orlando south to Lake Okeechobee and east to Vero Beach.
