H.Res. 308 is a House resolution that throws out a contest over the 2024 primary election for Florida’s 14th Congressional District. The House says it only has authority to judge general or special elections for its seats, not primary contests, so the challenge is dismissed.

Key Provisions

The resolution dismisses the election contest filed on November 17, 2024, concerning the Florida 14th Congressional District Representative race.
It states that the House of Representatives only has jurisdiction over general and special elections for its members, not over primary elections or party caucuses, and therefore cannot hear the contest.
