Jared Moskowitz wins Democratic primary for Florida's District 25
The district that runs along part of Florida's southeast coast and includes portions of Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade counties.
Jared Moskowitz has secured the Democratic nomination for Florida's newly redrawn Congressional District 25, according to projections. He clinched victory in Tuesday's primary by defeating Oliver Larkin. District 25 stretches along Florida's southeast coast and encompasses portions of Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade counties, connecting communities from Delray Beach to Miami Beach.
Affordability was a key theme in the Democratic primary, with both candidates emphasizing the increasing cost of living in South Florida. Moskowitz positioned affordability as his top priority, stating it as "issue 1, 2, and 3" in his campaign. His proposals include reinstating Affordable Care Act tax credits, reducing homeowners insurance expenses, and tackling the overall cost of living.
During the campaign, he told CBS News Miami, "You have to be able to afford your home, have affordable healthcare, and enjoy the ability to live in society." Additionally, Moskowitz pledged to address rising antisemitism and anti-immigrant sentiment. In contrast, Larkin presented a more progressive agenda, advocating for Medicare for All, universal childcare, paid family and medical leave, and increased affordable housing construction.
He aligned himself with Democratic socialist candidates and aimed to limit the impact of corporate political action committees. Moskowitz is now set to face Larkin in the November general election.
