Background
Seth Haskin is a No Party Affiliation (NPA) candidate running in Florida's 19th Congressional District for the November 3, 2026 U.S. House general election. He has been listed as qualified for the race by the Florida Division of Elections. 8
Haskin's campaign biography states he grew up in a family that moved several times and spent much of his childhood working with family in small businesses, though no specific employers or businesses are named. A third-party profile describes him as a business manager, but this is not confirmed in his own campaign materials. [10, 12]
He earned a bachelor's degree in neuroscience; his campaign biography does not name the institution or graduation year, though Smarter.Vote identifies the institution as Bethel University with a graduation year of 2022. [10, 12] Prior to this congressional run, Haskin ran as an independent write-in candidate for Wisconsin governor in 2022 and sought a Wisconsin State Assembly seat in 2024, though he did not make the ballot for the latter. No prior elected offices are documented. 12
Hashin is a non-incumbent challenger. The current seat-holder, Byron Donalds, is not listed among candidates in the district's 2026 general-election race. [5, 2]
