Webster, who has represented Florida in Congress since 2011, cited family and leadership transition as reasons for retiring after the 2026 term.
His announcement follows Governor Ron DeSantis’s proposal to redraw Florida’s congressional districts, potentially consolidating GOP-leaning areas and adding four Republican-favored seats for the 2026 midterms.
Webster highlighted his focus on fiscal responsibility, returning over $6 million in savings to the Treasury, and received praise from Senator Rick Scott for his decades of public service.
