Jared Moskowitz announced he will run for Florida\u2019s newly drawn 25th congressional district after a state court upheld the GOP-backed map championed by Gov. Ron DeSantis. The district, created from parts of former 23rd, 24th, and 25th districts, is considered a toss-up and expected to be among the most competitive races nationally.<\/p>\n<p>Moskowitz,a former DeSantis appointee,is framing his campaign as a results-focused Democrat willing to work across party lines. Cook Political Report notes the new district includes large Hispanic and Jewish communities, and Moskowitz-who is Jewish-has emphasized opposition to antisemitism and political extremism, citing remarks from within his own party. He also referenced efforts tied to Jewish candidates, including a pledge with another Jewish Democrat to push for expulsion of an antisemitic Texas Democratic candidate.<\/p>\n<p>The article adds that Donald Trump would have won the district by about 9 points in 2024 if the election had been held under the new lines.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep.
