Florida U.S. House District 19 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
3 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Florida Department of State's list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Florida Department of State, Division of Elections, Candidate Tracking System: Candidate Listing for 2026 General Election (The listing states no certification or as of date; it is the Division's live Candidate Tracking System read on October 9, 2026).
Victor Arias, Democratic congressional candidate for District 19, warned of rising electricity costs from data centers and said he would vote for a moratorium of at least one year if elected
These candidates are not printed on the November 3 ballot. A voter writes in the name, and the votes count because an official election list certifies the candidacy: the state's own, or a county election board's where the state publishes none. Each line names the list that certifies it; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
