Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Friday morning that she is now seeking reelection in Florida’s 20th Congressional District.
Currently representing Florida’s 25th Congressional District, Wasserman Schultz announced the move in a video statement posted to X with a poster of former President Barack Obama visible in the background. She stated in the social media post that she intends to “continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire.”
“I’ve fought for the people of Broward County my whole adult life, and you’ve always been able to count on me to deliver results for our community,” Wasserman Schultz said in a news release. “And I’ve waged these battles when our values were on the line, all while still raising a family, beating cancer, and answering President Barack Obama’s call to lead our national party.”
Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Florida’s 20th congressional district.

Wasserman Schultz is running in the heavily Democratic Broward County after state Republicans’ mid-decade redistricting made her current district more favorable to the GOP, Politico reported.
“Debbie Wasserman Schultz is abandoning her home district because she knows she was headed for defeat in a seat President Trump won by double digits,” National Republican Congressional Committee Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said Friday in a statement provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Instead of facing voters after years of backing Democrats’ failed agenda, Wasserman Schultz is running scared and handing Republicans a prime pickup opportunity.”
Former Democratic Florida Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick had previously represented the state’s 20th Congressional District before abruptly resigning from Congress in April after being found guilty of multiple ethics violations over campaign finance laws. The House seat has long been regarded as a stronghold for black representation in the state, according to WUSF.
The newly redrawn 20th district was 45% black at the 2020 Census, according to data from Dave’s Redistricting App.
Some black candidates and Democratic Party leaders in the district have argued that a well-funded white Democrat entering the congressional race could further diminish black political power, The Miami Herald reported on May 12.
In July 2016, Wasserman Schultz announced that she would step down Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair after leaked internal DNC emails revealed officials had shown overt favoritism toward Hillary Clinton during her primary contest with Bernie Sanders, The Guardian reported.

She put the cray-o in the mayo.
I thought Mayo Hair was gone a long time ago...
Well, she got the hair!
Are they voting for Debbie or Barry ?
It’s a game of musical chairs for south Florida Democrat incumbents:
Lois Frankel bugs out of CD-22 and moves to CD-23.
So CD-23 incumbent Jared Moskowitz shifts to CD-25.
So Wasserman-Schultz figures she can’t win against Moskowitz and flees to CD-20.
The convicted (perhaps not yet) felon who represented CD-20, Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, resigned from Congress a few weeks ago. That saved Republicans from chickening out and failing to expel her.
She’s totally guilty of numerous crimes — “allegedly” — and has maintained her innocence as all shameless guilty criminals do, and will be running again in CD-20. DWS undoubtedly figures that SCM (what’s with all these hyphenated femiNazis?) is damaged goods and won’t be a big obstacle. But racist voters normally figure that a conviction for criminality is merely “street cred”, so DWS may be miscalculating here.
There is no chance of CD-20 electing a Republican.
New PVIs:
CD-20: D+20 (was D+24)
CD-22: R+5 (was D+6)
CD-23: D+8 (was D+4)
CD-25: R+3 (was D+8)
A little hair dye, a couple makeup tips from Rachel Dolezal and Voilà! Meet you're new Representative, brothas and sistas!!!
If politicians made good on 0.01% of such promises, we'd be the safest, most affordable and family-friendly country on earth. Yet everything they do makes us less safe, raises our prices to the stratosphere, steals our kids, indoctrinates our kids, murders our babies, lets men invade womens' space, and makes it impossible to retire.
I don't know how any self-respecting person with a shred of dignity could utter such banal, nauseating bosh.
More of them need to run using the Spencer Pratt approach. But you can't do that when you are the consummate insider who bollixed everything up over decades.
“Black Like Me!”
Vote for Zelig
“It was never easy for me...”
What’s the difference?
This one is more believable.
Not that she’s trying to massage her black constituents or anything. As I said, no shame, no shame at all.
You’d think that someone with her money could find SOMEONE who could fix that hair.
I knew her when she was about 18.
Same hair.
