2026 Elections

The Democrat will run in the newly created district that runs along the coast from Delray Beach to Miami Beach. In a press release announcing his run, Moskowitz highlighted his willingness to work with Republicans on the issue of affordability.

The letter, signed by 10 of the 15 elected members of the Florida DNC said that by running in the historically Black district, Wasserman Schultz was undermining Black political representation.

The change is spurred on by Gov.Ron DeSantis’ redistricting effort. Wasserman Schultz’s current district, Florida's 25th, which had included most of southern Broward, was drawn to include coastal communities from Delray Beach to Miami Beach. Florida’s 20th district includes most of central Broward north of I-595.

The Broward County Black Democratic Caucus made headlines earlier this month by telling Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz not to run for reelection in FL-20.

Corey Shearer, President of Broward's Black Democratic Caucus, talks Luther Campbell, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who are among the candidates for the U.S. 20th Congressional District in South Florida.

Union leaders, citing local rents now averaging more than $3,100 per month, said the economic pressures facing South Florida families have reached a tipping point.

Nixon, who is also running as a U.S. Senate candidate, began her protest around noon, hoping to speak with a DeSantis staff member to discuss affordability in Florida.

“I’m fighting to lower costs for Florida families, and that starts with an immediate pause on the federal gas tax to provide immediate relief for Floridians.” Vindman said in a statement.

Moskowitz is pivoting to the newly created 25th district, which stretches along the coast from Delray Beach to Miami Beach. Its an area Trump won in 2024 by about 9 percentage points.

FL-20 is Broward only reliably Democratic district and historically black.

The vote came just two days after Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled his proposal and the same day that the U.S. Supreme Court rolled back a key provision of the Voting Rights Act. The decision could make it harder for Democrats to challenge Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts in ways that limit the influence of nonwhite voters.

Florida’s 23rd congressional district was the most competitive in the state in 2024. It's also one of the most affected by the proposed redistricting maps released by Florida governor Ron DeSantis.
