U.S. Rep. Aaron Bean held off a close challenge from Democrat LaShonda Holloway to win re-election in Florida's 4th Congressional District on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

Bean, a Republican, captured 50.22% of the vote to Holloway's 48.12%, according to First Coast News election results with an estimated 99% of ballots counted. Bean received 151,114 votes to Holloway's 144,795. A gap of 6,319 votes separated them.

The district covers Nassau, Clay and Duval counties in north Florida. The race completes the Beaches-area federal election picture after Ashley Moody won the U.S. Senate seat and U.S. Rep. John Rutherford won re-election in District 5, as we reported Thursday, Nov. 5.

Two other candidates also appeared on the ballot. Todd Schaefer, with no party affiliation, drew 1.06% with 3,191 votes. Mike Sell of the Florida Forward Party received 0.61% with 1,832 votes. The race drew 300,932 total votes.

NBC Miami reported that Bean "avoided a shock upset" in a cycle where several Republican-held Florida seats saw tight margins.

The result marked the third consecutive general election loss for Holloway against Bean. According to Ballotpedia, Holloway lost to Bean in 2022 and 2024 before this third matchup. A fourth-generation Jacksonville native, Holloway won the Aug. 18 Democratic primary with over 57% of the vote, defeating Michael Kirwan and Brittney Robinson.

Bean was first elected to Congress on Nov. 8, 2022, according to his campaign website. He serves on the House Ways and Means Committee. Before going to Washington, he served in the Florida State Senate from 2012 to 2022, including a stint as Senate President Pro Tempore.

President Donald Trump endorsed Bean ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm election, the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

Federal Election Commission records show Bean's campaign reported $2,682,266.58 in total receipts and $2,579,023.86 in total spending for the 2026 cycle.
