With a population of 830,753, the district is 63.2% White (non-Hispanic), 21.7% Hispanic, and 12.2% Black. The median age is 43.1 (older than the national median), with 16% of residents aged 70+. Median household income is $84,737 (well above the national median), but 10.4% lack health insurance. Homeownership is high at 73.8%. The economy is anchored in healthcare, tourism, real estate, retail, and agriculture. The district's core tension is between affluent retirees in coastal communities like Longboat Key and working-class families in inland areas — healthcare access, Medicare solvency, and property insurance costs dominate local concerns.","confidence":"secondary","dateOccurred":null,"source":null}],"connections":[{"id":124996,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$10,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (2 contributions), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00563726/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":52843,"name":"Mr. Southern Missourian In The House PAC","slug":"fec-c00563726","type":"organization"}},{"id":124995,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00495556/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":52828,"name":"Trinet Group Inc PAC","slug":"fec-c00495556","type":"organization"}},{"id":124994,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00466813/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":55598,"name":"Humane Society Legislative Fund PAC","slug":"fec-c00466813","type":"organization"}},{"id":124993,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00455766/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":55594,"name":"The Mosaic Company PAC","slug":"fec-c00455766","type":"organization"}},{"id":124992,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00403881/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":54172,"name":"American College Of Physician Services Inc PAC; Aka Acp Services PAC","slug":"fec-c00403881","type":"organization"}},{"id":124991,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (2 contributions), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00384818/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":53621,"name":"Cvs Health PAC","slug":"fec-c00384818","type":"organization"}},{"id":124990,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00375360/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":53097,"name":"American College Of Cardiology PAC (Heartpac)","slug":"fec-c00375360","type":"organization"}},{"id":124989,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00333104/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":55560,"name":"Amer Soc Of Pension Professionals & Actu","slug":"fec-c00333104","type":"organization"}},{"id":124988,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$10,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (2 contributions), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00274431/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":52782,"name":"Unitedhealth Group Incorporated PAC (Unitedhealth Group PAC)","slug":"fec-c00274431","type":"organization"}},{"id":124987,"relationshipType":"donor","description":"$5,000 to Vern Buchanan's principal committee in the 2026 cycle (1 contribution), FEC Schedule A line 11C. https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00271007/","confidence":"primary","firstDocumented":"2026","lastDocumented":"2026","other":{"id":52781,"name":"Humana Inc.
