2026 battleground election
Ballotpedia identified the November 3 general election for Florida's 25th Congressional District as a battleground election. The summary below is from our coverage of this election, found here.
Incumbent Jared Evan Moskowitz (D), Scott Singer (R), Peter Jassenoff (L), and Michaelangelo Hamilton (No Party Affiliation) (Write-in) are running in the general election for Florida's 25th Congressional District on November 3, 2026.
Moskowitz was first elected to represent the 23rd District in 2022. Florida adopted a new U.S. House district map in 2026, changing the boundaries of both the 23rd and 25th districts from those used in 2024. Inside Elections' Bradley Wascher and Jacob Rubashkin said the new 25th District has "no true predecessor — formed by leftover pieces not used to pack the three remaining Democratic-leaning districts. Forty-six percent of its population comes from the old 23rd District, while 30 percent is from the outgoing 24th District and just 16 percent comes from the original 25th District."[2]
The Downballot calculated that President Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) 54.2%–45.0% in the 2024 presidential election within the boundaries of the 2026 version of the 25th District.[3] As of August 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Toss-up.
Before his election to the U.S. House, Moskowitz served on the Broward County Commission in 2022 and as director of the Florida Department of Emergency Management under Gov. Ron DeSantis (R). He earlier served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2012 to 2019 and on the Parkland City Commission from 2006 to 2012. Before seeking elected office, Moskowitz worked as an attorney and political staffer. Moskowitz's campaign website says he has a "record of action, bipartisan leadership, and crisis-tested experience. From the state legislature to the floor of Congress, he’s built his career on showing up, getting results, and putting people ahead of politics."[4]
Singer is a fellow at the America First Policy Institute.[5] He served as mayor of Boca Raton from 2018 to 2026. Singer's campaign website says, "We deserve accountability from Congress and leaders who are interested in results more than headlines. Scott has a strong record as Mayor of Boca Raton where he served our community honorably for more than [a] decade and got things done. He removed harmful red tape negatively affecting our local businesses. In Congress, he will work with President Trump to advance the America First agenda. "[6]
As of July 29, 2026, Moskowitz had raised $3 million and Singer had raised $2 million.
The outcome of this race will affect the partisan balance of the U.S. House of Representatives in the 120th Congress. All 435 U.S. House districts are up for election.
Currently, Republicans have a 219-214 majority with two vacancies in the U.S. House.[7][8] To read more about the U.S. House elections taking place this year, click here.

Race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[11]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[12][13][14]

Campaign website
Singer's campaign website stated the following:
Jobs & Economy - A Proven Record of Strong Results
Like President Trump, Scott understands what it takes to manage a successful business. Additionally, as mayor, he worked to support local businesses by reducing red tape, increasing the use of technology, and adding more high-paying jobs to our thriving economy.
As our next congressman, Scott will work hand in hand with our local business leaders to build consensus on plans for sustained long-term financial growth for our South Florida communities.
Scott supports the Administration's work to slash overregulation that burdens businesses and raises costs for consumers. As mayor, he advanced many streamlining initiatives to cut red tape and bureaucracy, increased technology use, and attracted businesses to bring high-paying jobs for residents.
When in Congress, Scott will work to put into law the many gains from the Trump executive orders that are unleashing our economy so that our families have more opportunity and greater affordability.
Scott supports energy independence to advance our economy free from destabilizing foreign influences and to reduce costs for our nation.
Respect the Rule of Law & Stand with Law Enforcement
As mayor, Scott has consistently increased investment to ensure the best in public safety. While other cities defunded police and refused to prosecute, Boca Raton continued to have one of the highest starting salaries for police officers in the nation to attract and retain the best professionals to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Scott strongly supports President Trump’s efforts to secure the border and turn back the failed Biden policies that allowed millions of people into our nation outside of the normal vetting process. Singer knows that a secure border is reducing the crises from fentanyl and opioids that are ravaging communities and tearing apart families.
Scott stands with our local law enforcement officers who have come under baseless attacks by the radical left in recent years. He knows that public safety is the first function of government and deserves our strong support.
As a father of two young children, Scott will keep making sure our neighborhoods and homes are safe. He also wants to make sure our children are safe in cyberspace.
Scott has worked to ensure our police and fire rescue services attract and retain the best talent and have the necessary tools and resources to serve and protect our citizens.
Committed to a Strong Military and Defense
As mayor, Scott ensured that funding went to public safety, not woke or race-based programs. As congressman, he will ensure that our brave military men and women receive the support and training they need so that America is prepared for any threat.
Scott will always advocate for policies that protect our military warfighters from being put into harm’s way and our nation’s collective national defense.
Scott stands with our veterans and will work to ensure that we take care of our brave patriots at all stages of their lives.
Scott Pledged to Keep Taxes Low and Has Delivered
Scott’s core principles have always centered around keeping taxes low so that more money was in the pockets of American families. Scott has voted for multiple years in a row to lower the property tax rate, never voted for a tax-rate increase, and ensured Boca Raton has the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida. At the same time, Boca Raton has invested in infrastructure to keep other costs like water rates far cheaper than other cities.
Scott stands with President Trump on his work to provide the largest tax cut in American history and will oppose efforts to increase tax rates. In Congress, Scott will work to continue cuts of the incredibly wasteful spending like billions lost in the Biden years spent overseas on ridiculous programs. Fiscal discipline for America First means spending wisely to take care of our core needs so families keep more of their own money.
Advance Free-Market Capitalism & Oppose Socialism
Scott Singer will work to help advance the America First agenda by sponsoring bills to make permanent President Trump's policies that are unleashing our economy and moving America forward.
Scott is a staunch supporter of President Donald J. Trump's leadership to cut waste and fraud from the budget. In Congress, he will work to help advance the America First agenda by sponsoring laws to make permanent the policies that are unleashing our economy and moving America forward.
Scott strongly supports the President’s strong response to threats from China, Russia, and Iran that have brought peace through strength here and across the globe. Scott has worked to advance skilled trades and manufacturing jobs to provide pathways to prosperity for millions of American and increase jobs. The America First economic and trade policy will restore the American Dream for generations.
Scott believes America is the greatest country in the world and will oppose all actions of the radical left to institute debilitating socialist policies here at home.
Standing with Israel & our Jewish Community
Israel has had no greater friend than President Trump, and as congressman, Scott will work with the president to continue to stand with America’s strongest ally in the region and President Trump's bold efforts to prevent a nuclear Iran. Scott will advocate a strong national defense by ensuring we support our allies and stop threats that look to destabilize the West.
At home, Scott worked to ensure safety for our houses of worship and Jewish day schools and will fight to expand existing federal funding for nonprofits at risk of terrorist or extremist attacks. He will continue to stand strong against antisemitism amid the increased bigotry from the extremes and will call it out, unlike Democrats who had two dozen members of Congress shamefully portray Israel’s response to brutal attacks on civilians as genocide. Harmful rhetoric makes our community less safe.
Cryptocurrency and Digital Asset Innovation
Scott supports the ability of cryptocurrency to give individuals more control and transparency for how they want to store their money. Scott will defend your wallet, your safety, and your freedoms.
Increasing Accountability and Transparency
As mayor, he has also championed reforms to increase accountability, ethics standards, and transparency in local government. As congressman, he will vote to prohibit members of Congress from stock trading.
Scott supports banning American schools and universities who receive foreign funding for programming from receiving federal dollars.
Defending Our Communities and Constitutional Rights
Scott has always stood with our brave law enforcement officers, funding to ensure the best police professionals, leading to a 25% drop in crime rates when he was mayor – from what were already 40-year lows. Scott stood up to challenge a law that could have had police officers responsible to pay for their own defense even when acting lawfully. At the same time, Scott will protect our Second Amendment rights against attempts to infringe on them. He knows that lawful gun owners deserve our rights and that we need to focus on stopping criminals, greater enforcement of existing laws, and more mental health treatment.
Infrastructure and Insurance
Scott knows this district as a lifelong resident and as a mayor and the need for coordinated transportation planning along our nearly 30 communities. He will work for better federal solutions for our roadways, bridges, and coastline – something many residents feel was neglected by prior representatives. He will push to streamline the federal permitting process as he did many times as mayor, leading to savings of tax dollars and time.
Scott will push for greater action by Congress to expand insurance programs that will save our taxpayers more of their dollars. This coastal district has unique needs for flooding and windstorms, and Scott will work to increase federal support to lower costs.
History of Service & Community Involvement
Scott remains active across both national and local service organizations.
His leadership includes:
- Chair of America First Policy Institute’s Mayors Council
- US Advisory Board Member, Combat Antisemitism Movement
- Past President, Florida League of Mayors
- United States Conference of Mayors National Advisory Board
- Board of Directors, CareerSource Florida
