U.S. Representative (FL-09) / Member, Congressional Gaming Caucus
Darren Soto is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Florida's 9th congressional district since January 2017. He was first elected in November 2016.
Within the House, he is a member of the bipartisan Congressional Gaming Caucus, which addresses economic and employment issues affecting the gaming industry. He has also co-sponsored the FAIR BET Act, a bill seeking to allow taxpayers to deduct gambling losses above the current cap.
