Dismissing the election contest relating to the office of Representative from the Fourteenth Congressional District of Florida.

This resolution, H. RES. 308, formally dismisses an election contest that was filed on November 17, 2024, regarding the office of Representative for Florida's Fourteenth Congressional District. The primary reason for this dismissal is the House of Representatives' lack of jurisdiction over the specific type of election being contested.

According to Section 2(1) of the Federal Contested Election Act (2 U.S.C. 381(1)), the House only has jurisdiction over official general and special elections for Representatives, Delegates, or Resident Commissioners. It explicitly states that the House does not possess authority over primary elections, caucuses, or political party conventions. Therefore, the contest was dismissed because it fell outside the defined scope of the House's adjudicatory powers.
