Josie Taylor Tomkow (born October 15, 1995) 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. Tomkow then won the May 1, 2018 special election, defeating Democrat Ricky Shirah with 59.9% of the vote. 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.
Based on a review of 2018 traffic citations, questions have been raised whether Tomkow meets residency requirements to hold her seat.
