Who's running in Florida's 25th congressional district
3 candidates are on the ballot. Below is what each one says they stand for, what they have actually done in office or in public life, and the arguments published for and against them — each quoted from a named source rather than summarised by us.
Medium confidenceMedium confidenceThe candidate's stated positions and basic record are documented, but coverage is thin — often little independent reporting, or criticism from only one side.What would raise it: More independent reporting, a documented voting record, or published criticism from a named opponent would raise this.
What they say they stand for
Their own words. Claims, not verified facts.
Government accountability, including oversight of the current administration.
School safety, gun violence prevention and mental health reform.
Support for Israel and for Ukraine, and stronger ties across the Western Hemisphere.
Federal disaster preparedness, drawing on his emergency management experience.
Climate resiliency and environmental protection.
What they’ve actually done
Documented record from official sources.
U.S. Representative since January 2023; re-elected in 2024.

Director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management from 2019, appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis; led the state's COVID-19 response.

Co-founder of the Bipartisan School Safety and Security Caucus.
Is not the incumbent for this district as previously drawn; that member, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, is running in the 20th.
Won the August 18, 2026 Democratic primary.
Arguments in favor
He ran Florida's emergency management under a Republican governor: "Jared led the state's response to multiple hurricanes and was at the forefront of Florida's COVID-19 response: setting up testing sites, designing vaccine distribution systems, delivering millions of meals, and ensuring underserved communities had access to lifesaving resources."
— Jared Moskowitz's campaign
"Since arriving in Congress, Jared has quickly built a reputation as a principled, independent voice — willing to work across the aisle to deliver for his constituents while holding government accountable", on Israel, Ukraine, hemispheric diplomacy and school safety.
— Jared Moskowitz's campaign
Arguments against
He presents as a moderate but does not vote like one: he "votes with the Squad 90 percent of the time" and "voted for Ilhan Omar on Foreign Affairs", backing tax increases and party-line votes out of step with this district.
— Scott Singer
As AshBritt's top lawyer he "attempted to price-gouge a Florida community just 18 days after Hurricane Irma devastated Florida", turning up at a Parkland City Commission meeting to demand a contract price increase that left commissioners saying they felt "as though they were being held hostage".
— National Republican Congressional Committee
What we couldn’t verify
The "90 percent" figure is his opponent's characterisation and was not independently verified from the sources found.
His response to the AshBritt and Hurricane Irma claim was not established from the sources found.
The NRCC has also criticised him for skipping a primary debate and for votes on transgender issues; those claims are recorded here rather than presented separately.
Keeping taxes and costs low and cutting what he calls waste, fraud and abuse; he has pledged not to raise taxes.
Congressional term limits and a ban on congressional stock trading.
Strong borders and national defence, and support for law enforcement.
Free-market capitalism and opposition to socialism.
Standing with Israel and the Jewish community.
Supporting cryptocurrency and digital asset innovation, and addressing infrastructure and insurance.
What they’ve actually done
Documented record from official sources.
Mayor of Boca Raton, serving a third term; voted seven times to lower the city's tax rate.
Lawyer and small business owner.
Inaugural chair of the America First Policy Institute Mayors' Council.
Graduate of Pine Crest School, Harvard University and Georgetown Law.
Won the August 18, 2026 Republican primary.
Has not held federal office.
Arguments in favor
Eight years running Boca Raton is a record of cutting taxes and regulation while bringing in business investment, done with the other party in the room — he worked "with Democrats who were on my council to get lower taxes", and would apply the same to housing permitting, insurance costs and federal spending.
— Scott Singer, interviewed by the Washington Reporter
He out-raised the sitting member of Congress in the first quarter of the campaign, in a district Donald Trump carried by nine points.
— Fundraising figures reported by Florida's Voice
Arguments against
The voters who know him best do not like him: a poll of the district put his job approval underwater in his own city at 35% approve to 45% disapprove, his personal favourability at 28% to 47%, and Moskowitz ahead of him 43% to 33%.
— District poll reported by Florida Politics
He championed One Boca, a $4 billion public-private redevelopment that became the most contested thing he did as mayor.
— The Boca Raton Tribune
What we couldn’t verify
The poll reported by Florida Politics was not identified by sponsor in the material available; polls released during a campaign are often commissioned by one side.
Singer's own account of the One Boca project, and its current status, were not established from the sources found.
He has held no federal office, so there is no congressional voting record to set against his campaign's positions.
Libertarian Party candidate for the 25th District, qualified for the November 3, 2026 general election.
Arguments in favor
We found none published about this candidate in the sources reviewed.
Arguments against
We found none published about this candidate in the sources reviewed.
What we couldn’t verify
No published criticism of Jassenoff by name could be found, and no published case for him: no campaign site was located and he has drawn no coverage. Because no case against him exists on the record, none is presented for him either.
His positions, fundraising and any endorsements were not reported in material available.

No incumbent is running here. Florida's May 2026 redistricting set off a chain of moves in South Florida: Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represented the 25th, is running in the 20th, and Jared Moskowitz, who represented the 23rd, is running here. Three candidates are on the November ballot: Moskowitz, Republican Scott Singer and Libertarian Peter Jassenoff. One certified write-in candidate is not a printed choice and is not profiled here. Donald Trump carried the redrawn seat by nine points in 2024 and both national committees treat it as competitive. Roster from the Florida qualifying lists as reported by Politics1 and Wikipedia. Arguments are shown for Moskowitz and Singer, who have both been attacked by name. Peter Jassenoff has drawn no published criticism by name, so neither column is filled for him.
This is one contest on a longer ballot
A Florida ballot also carries state legislative districts, county offices, judicial seats and often local questions — and which of them you vote on is decided by your street address, not your city or ZIP code.
