Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) announced on May 28, 2026, that he will run for election in Florida's newly drawn 25th District. This announcement follows a state court's decision to uphold the congressional map supported by Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL). The new district incorporates parts of the former 23rd, 24th, and 25th districts and is rated as a toss-up by the Cook Political Report, indicating it could be one of the most competitive races in the country.
In his statement, Moskowitz highlighted the economic challenges facing American families and expressed his commitment to working across party lines to improve the lives of his constituents. He emphasized his experience as a former appointee of DeSantis and his willingness to address issues such as antisemitism and political extremism, which he believes are on the rise.
Moskowitz's campaign will focus on representing the diverse populations within the district, which includes significant Hispanic and Jewish communities. He referenced his family's history during World War II to underscore his stance against antisemitism. Additionally, he and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) previously pledged to push for the expulsion of a Texas Democratic candidate over antisemitic remarks, although that candidate lost her primary bid. According to electoral data, Donald Trump would have won the newly drawn district by 9 percentage points in the 2024 election against Kamala Harris.
