Jared Moskowitz for the U.S. House seat covering Boca Raton, Miami Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.

Following the latest redistricting, the 25th Congressional District is described by Singer as a “Republican plus five” district, reflecting a shift toward Republican-leaning voters, including a notable Jewish constituency that he says is moving more conservatively. Singer also notes that Moskowitz does not reside in the newly configured district.

Verbatim Quotes
- “Well, it is a tough cycle, but people understand the real Jared Moskowitz, one who votes with the squad 90% of the time, voted to put [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-Minn.] on the Foreign Affairs Committee, has passed no bills in Congress, but traded $4.5 million worth of stocks since he's been there. This district, after redistricting, is now a Republican plus five district,” — Scott Singer, the former mayor of Boca Raton
- “No, he's not. He's been voting in lockstep. He's already said he'll vote for whoever the Democratic leadership is. And you can see that we'll have committee chairs like [Rep.] Rashida Tlaib [D-Mich.] and AOC [Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.], if heaven forbid, the Democrats win Congress,” — Scott Singer, the former mayor of Boca Raton
- “I'm a stronger supporter for Israel. I would never have put Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee. I would not have, like he did, voted against U.S.-Israel cooperation in the NDAA [National Defense Authorization Act],” — Scott Singer, the former mayor of Boca Raton
- “In my party, support for Israel is a feature, not a bug, and I don't have to moderate my views or vote in accordance with the majority…I can be a strong supporter for Israel without reservation. Jared's admitted he can't be and won't be.” — Finally
