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.
Republican candidate Dennis Ross won the election unopposed, as the Democrats did not nominate a candidate.[8] Ross at the time was already the incumbent of the old 12th District prior to the 2010 reapportionment.
