Rep. Laurel Lee won the race for the federal District 15 Tuesday. Democratic challenger Pat Kemp came in second. 

District 15 includes much of Plant City, Lakeland, and northeastern Tampa Bay.

Lee won her party primary in August, beating out two other challengers with 72.3% of the vote at the time. 

In terms of fundraising, Lee had raised over $2 million by the October 16 filing deadline, and spent $1.3 million of that. In comparison, Kemp raised just under $500,000 and spent $285,000.

The seat is currently held by Lee, who held the seat since 2022. The seat was held by Republican Rep. Scott Franklin before that.
