Republican · Florida's 14th · 2026
John Peters for Congress
Conservative leadership for Hillsborough County.
Common sense. Real results.
After nine terms — eighteen years in Washington — Kathy Castor has stopped listening to FL-14. Hillsborough County deserves a representative who actually lives the values of eastern Hillsborough.

Why I'm Running
Three priorities for FL-14
After Florida HB 1D redrew our congressional map, the new 14th District covers Hillsborough County only — and it deserves a representative who fights for our families, not Washington's career politicians.
Lower Costs, Stronger Economy
Cut taxes for working families in Brandon and Valrico, rein in inflation, and bring back high-paying jobs to Hillsborough County.

Stand up for the Second Amendment, religious liberty, and the rights of every law-abiding citizen — without apology.

Term Limits & Accountability
After 18 years, Kathy Castor has forgotten who she works for. FL-14 deserves a citizen legislator, not a career politician.

The Choice in 2026
Kathy Castor has had 18 years.
Nine terms — eighteen years in Washington. A consistent vote for Democratic leadership and the most progressive wing of her caucus. And a record that does not match the district she now represents. The new FL-14 is expected to lean Republican given its redrawn Hillsborough County boundaries — and Hillsborough's eastern and southern communities are growing more conservative every cycle. Castor's voting record has not changed.
John Peters is running because the families in Brandon, Valrico, Riverview, and Sun City Center deserve a voice that reflects their values — and a representative who measures success by results, not seniority.
Meet John
Twenty years rooted in eastern Hillsborough.
John Peters has spent more than 20 years building family, business, and community ties across Brandon, Valrico, and the broader Tampa Bay region. He's in the district every week — meeting with small business owners, attending church services, and hearing directly from neighbors about the cost of living, the cost of insurance, and the cost of a Washington that has stopped listening.
He's not a career politician. He's a businessman, a father, and a conservative who knows that leadership means showing up — every day — and leaving the community stronger than you found it.
