Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) announced Friday she s running for another term in Congress in a new district after GOP-led redistricting backed by Gov. Ron De Santis roiled the Sunshine State.
Today, I m announcing my candidacy for Florida s 20th congressional district. I ll continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire. We cannot let [President] Trump and DeSantis take away Broward County s power, said Wasserman Schultz, who currently represents the 25th Congressional District, which was dismantled under the new congressional map.
The deep-blue 20th District was previously held by Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, who resigned from Congress last month amid allegations of financial misconduct that were poised to lead to her expulsion from the chamber.
