Josie Taylor Tomkow (born October 15, 1995)[2] is an American politician serving in the Florida Legislature, representing the state's 39th House district—which includes parts of Osceola and Polk counties—as a member of the Republican Party.

Florida House of Representatives

Tomkow defeated Jennifer Spath in a special Republican primary for the vacant 39th House district seat on February 20, 2018.[3] Tomkow then won the May 1, 2018 special election, defeating Democrat Ricky Shirah with 59.9% of the vote.[4] At the time of her election to the House, Tomkow was 22 years old.

Tomkow again defeated Shirah by a similar margin in the November 6, 2018 general election.[5]

Based on a review of 2018 traffic citations, questions have been raised whether Tomkow meets residency requirements to hold her seat.[6]
