Josie Tomkow (born October 15, 1995) is a Republican member of the Florida Legislature representing the state's 39th House district, which includes parts of Osceola and Polk counties.
Tomkow defeated Jennifer Spath in a special Republican primary for the vacant 39th House district seat on February 20, 2018.[2] Tomkow then won the May 1, 2018 special election, defeating Democrat Ricky Shirah with 59.9% of the vote.[3] 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.[4]
