National Democrats brought campaign resources and party leaders to Florida to support Jared Moskowitz and Pia Dandiya in congressional races. The article reports that both candidates face Republican opponents and that voters will not see them debate side by side.
National Democrats are devoting money and staff to Florida congressional races after largely writing off the state in recent elections. Jared Moskowitz met with Hispanic voters and said rising costs and immigration enforcement could turn voters away from Republicans. He also said Republicans redrew his district and three others to favor their party, and that spending against him reflected concern about the race’s numbers.
Democratic campaign chair Suzan DelBene said the party’s path to a House majority runs through Florida and spoke at events supporting Moskowitz and Pia Dandiya. Dandiya is running against Casey Askar for an open seat, while Moskowitz faces former Boca Mayor Scott Singer. The article says Florida voters will not see the candidates debate side by side.
