Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer, a Jewish Republican, is challenging incumbent Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) for Florida's newly redrawn 25th Congressional District, which is the most Jewish district in the state. Singer, speaking at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference, argued that Moskowitz is in the "wrong party" due to the Democratic Party's increasing opposition to Israel and the rise of anti-Israel socialists. He highlighted Moskowitz's vote to keep Rep. Ilhan Omar on the Foreign Affairs Committee and his vote against the National Defense Authorization Act, which included provisions for Israel.
- Singer claims that Jewish voters are increasingly shifting towards the Republican Party, citing a rise from one-third to potentially 40-50% of Jewish votes for the GOP.
- He also noted the growing influence of the Orthodox Jewish community, which tends to vote more conservatively.
- Moskowitz recently defeated a DSA-backed challenger in his primary and was appointed ranking member of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee.
- The Cook Political Report rates the 25th Congressional District as a toss-up, making it a key race for House control in 2027.
