Florida's 7th congressional district is a congressional district in the north central portion of the U.S. state of Florida .
From 2003 to 2013, the district consisted of the suburban area between Orlando and Daytona Beach and included St. Augustine . The district included all of Flagler and St. Johns Counties ; a very small portion of eastern Putnam County ; parts of Volusia County , including portions of DeLand , Deltona , Ormond Beach , and Daytona Beach; much of western Seminole County ; and a small, predominantly suburban portion of Orange County .
Following court-ordered redistricting in 2015, the district included all of Seminole County and northern Orange County, including much of downtown and northern Orlando and the cities of Maitland and Winter Park . At the time, the district was also home to the University of Central Florida (UCF), the state's largest university by student population in 2020–2021.[ 5]
Following further redistricting in 2022 based on the 2020 United States census , the 7th district still includes all of Seminole County . It now includes the southern half of Volusia County , while the portion of the district that extended into Orange County , including UCF, is now part of the 10th congressional district .
The district is currently represented in the U.S. Congress by Rep. Cory Mills .
