Debbie Wasserman Schultz running in new Florida district

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) announced Friday that she will run in a neighboring congressional district previously represented by former Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick.

Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida’s 25th Congressional District, previously served as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee and is the ranking member on the House Appropriations Committee. In her campaign announcement Friday, she pledged to use her “seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire,” while arguing that “we cannot let Trump and DeSantis take away Broward County’s power.”
