Florida's 20th congressional district, Congressional district in Southeast Florida, United States
Florida's 20th district covers portions of Broward County and southeastern Palm Beach County in eastern Florida. The territory includes urban centers like Fort Lauderdale and Lauderhill as well as more rural areas extending toward Lake Okeechobee.
The district was established through redistricting following the 2010 Census, replacing the previous 23rd district that had existed in the region from 1993 to 2013. This change reflected population growth and demographic shifts in South Florida.
The district represents a population of 803,297 residents, with African Americans forming 49.1 percent and Hispanic Americans comprising 23.5 percent of constituents.
Visitors and residents can reach out to local offices to connect with their elected representative and access information about federal programs. The best times to visit offices are during regular business hours on weekdays.
The territory extends to the southeastern shores of Lake Okeechobee and includes Belle Glade, a small town with roots in sugarcane and cattle farming. This rural area contrasts sharply with the urban communities farther east.
