florida redistricting

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.

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.

New U.S. House districts in Florida are facing their first test in court. A state judge is set to hear arguments Friday on a request to block the new districts from being used in the midterm elections. Several lawsuits contend the districts violate a state constitutional provision against partisan gerrymandering.

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.

On "The Florida Roundup," Democratic Kathy Castor of Tampa says Florida's new congressional boundaries pose issues forTampa Bay communities.

Mid-decade redistricting in Florida was all but inevitable once Donald Trump made partisan map-drawing a national priority. I’m a political scientist, and my research focuses on voting and elections. I’ve served as an expert in redistricting cases in Florida, and I’ve been tracking Florida voters’ opinions on DeSantis’ 2026 redistricting efforts.

Politifact Florida found that the last time Florida Democrats led Republicans among all registered voters was in 2020. Republicans had been gaining on Democrats for years, taking the lead in 2021 and not relinquishing it since.

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.
