Then-Florida Secretary of State Laurel Lee speaks at pre-legislative news conference on Oct. 29, 2019, in Tallahassee.

This includes Laurel Lee, who kept her District 15 seat by a narrow margin against Democratic opponent Pat Kemp.

U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee won reelection for her District 15 seat against her Democratic opponent, Pat Kemp, by 8%. which was the closest race in what was otherwise a Republican sweep.

In other U.S. House races, several Republican incumbents emerged victorious, including Rep. Scott Franklin and Rep. Daniel Webster, who won their house seats by a margin of at least 25% each.

Lee will reassume her seat overseeing parts of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Polk counties.
