Two Jewish Candidates Set to Face Off in Newly Redistricted FL-25 as Moskowitz, Singer Win Primaries
Florida’s 25th Congressional District has its two general election nominees. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), a staunch, AIPAC-backed supporter of Israel, was projected Tuesday to defeat Oliver Larkin, a Democratic Socialists of America-endorsed challenger, in the Democratic primary, according to Fox News, Decision Desk HQ and NBC News. With roughly 86% of the expected vote counted, Moskowitz led 64.1% to 35.9%.
On the Republican side, Jewish attorney and former three-term Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer won the GOP primary, defeating a crowded field that included Dan Franzese, George Moraitis, Raven Harrison, and Joe Kaufman. Singer campaigned on securing the border, standing with Israel and fighting antisemitism, and backing President Trump’s “America First” agenda, picking up endorsements from Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL).
Moskowitz and Singer now face each other in November in a heavily Jewish, coastal South Florida seat both parties consider a toss-up that could help decide control of the House.
Despite being alligned with President Trump’s agenda, Scott Singer has not received a formal endorsement from Trump
Democrat socialist Oliver Larkin, 34, a self-identified DSA member and former union organizer making his first run for office, campaigned on Medicare for All, a $25 federal minimum wage, and ending U.S. aid to Israel. He was the only DSA-endorsed candidate running in a competitive general-election swing district this cycle, and his campaign was seen nationally as a test of the DSA’s momentum heading into the midterms — a test it failed to pass, following a DSA loss in Wisconsin’s gubernatorial primary the previous week. Moskowitz vastly outraised Larkin over the course of the race, roughly $2.5 million to $550,000.
The newly redrawn 25th District stretches along the coast from Delray Beach to Miami Beach through Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, and was reshaped by Republican-led redistricting.
