Florida's 15th congressional district is an electoral district for the U.S. Congress and is located in the northeastern suburbs of Tampa, including parts of Hillsborough, Pasco, and Polk counties. The district includes Plant City and Zephyrhills, as well as parts of Tampa city proper, Brandon, and Lakeland.
From 2003 to 2013, the prior 15th district contained most of Brevard County south of the city of Cocoa (including the Kennedy Space Center), all of Indian River County, most of Osceola County, and a very small portion of Polk County. The district took in the cities of Kissimmee, Melbourne, and Vero Beach, as well as Patrick Space Force Base. Boundaries were redrawn due to a lawsuit in 2015. [5] Much of this area is now the 8th district, while the current 15th takes in most of what was previously the 12th district.
From 2013 to 2017, the district included the northern parts of Hillsborough and Polk counties. [6] [7] After court-ordered redistricting for the 2016 elections, it also included the southernmost parts of Lake County.
The district is currently represented by Republican Laurel Lee.
