After two closer-than-expected elections in a row, Congressman Jared Moskowitz has found himself someplace he doesn’t want to be: on the Republicans’ political radar.
So far, Moskowitz has managed to keep Florida’s 23rd Congressional District in Democratic hands.
But the territory he represents — northern Broward and much of the coast extending south through most of Fort Lauderdale plus a swath of southern Palm Beach County — has rapidly become much more Republican, a trend that’s continuing.
As they continue to erode the Democratic advantage in registered voters, Republicans sense opportunity.

“That seat’s in play,” DeNapoli said. “A lot of national prognosticators did not believe it would be anywhere near as close as it was in both years. People are starting to look at it a lot more now.”

Republicans have turned up the heat in recent weeks.
The party campaign organization dedicated to electing Republicans and defeating Democrats in U.S. House races has started messaging efforts aimed at softening up Moskowitz.
Among the assertions from the National Republican Congressional Committee are that he “caved to the radical left and voted to crush Americans with higher taxes and more wasteful government spending,” and that he “turned his back on hardworking Americans.”
One NRCC label: “Radical Democrat Jared Moskowitz.”
On Wednesday, the NRCC launched digital ads against 34 Democratic incumbents. The Moskowitz version accused him of hurting “Florida’s families.”
