Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.

How has Florida’s 6th district done while Rep. Waltz served?

2022 to 2024 in FL-6: typical household income was about the same after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was about the same, and the share of workers looking for a job was about the same.

Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.

While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in Florida’s 6th district during Waltz’s time representing it (2019 to 2025). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.

Only one set of district lines is shown. FL-6 was redrawn in 2012, 2016 and again in 2022, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2022 to 2024 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2019 to 2025.
