Rep. Jared Moskowitz to run in new, likely competitive congressional district
U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat who has represented part of Broward County on Capitol Hill for over three years, has announced he’ll run in a new district after the congressional maps were reconfigured.
The Broward County political landscape has shifted after the Florida legislature redrew the congressional map in a move that’s expected to break apart Democratic-leaning voting blocs.
Moskowitz, a graduate of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, has announced his campaign for District 25, a likely competitive district stretching from Delray Beach to Miami Beach, which includes a sizable area he currently represents in the 23rd District.
District 25 is currently represented by Democratic U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who recently announced she would be campaigning for reelection in District 20.
“The American people are struggling to afford a regular way of life. Many barely have enough money for their bills and feel squeezed by rising costs,” Moskowitz said in a statement.
“We must work together to bring back the American dream for the middle class in America. I have never hesitated to work with anyone across the aisle if I think it’ll improve the lives of my constituents.”
Moskowitz has been outspoken about combatting antisemitism and his support of Israel, saying in a campaign announcement on social media that “political extremism is expanding, and antisemitism is spreading and becoming mainstream.”
His office said District 25 is about a quarter Jewish, and analysts consider it a competitive purple toss-up.
“From helping my community respond after the mass shooting at my high school Marjory Stoneman Douglas to leading Florida’s recovery from Hurricane Michael and running the state’s COVID response, I have taken on some of the toughest challenges our state has faced and focused on delivering results for Floridians,” he said.
While in law school, Moskowitz became a Parkland city commissioner until he was elected to Florida’s House of Representatives in 2012, serving until 2019.
Gov. Ron DeSantis tapped him to run the Florida Division of Emergency Management and then appointed him to briefly fill a vacancy on the Broward County commission before Moskowitz was elected to Congress in 2022.
He narrowly defended his District 23 seat in 2024 as well.
Oliver Larkin will challenge Moskowitz in their party’s primary. So far competing for the Republican primary vote are former Boca Raton mayor Scott Singer and former Florida House representative George Moraitis as well as Joe Kaufman, Dan Franzese, Raven Harrison and Claudia Villatoro, filing records show.
