The former state Representative said his record of bipartisan success would serve the district well.
Former state Rep. George Moraitis is planning to challenge U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz for his seat in Congress.
Moraitis said he’s running in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District as a “proven conservative leader.” The U.S. Naval Academy graduate said he would bring a record of bipartisan success to serving South Florida in Washington.
“I have spent a lifetime in service to our nation and community, and I am running for US Congress to serve our nation, restore the American dream for our citizens, and protect our God-given freedoms upon which our country was founded,” the Fort Lauderdale Republican said.
“As a former state legislator, I’ve seen firsthand how the government can be a force for good – but also how it can fall short. It’s time to bring new leadership to Washington that’s willing to make tough decisions and put the interests of our citizens first.”
Moraitis served in the Florida House from 2010 until 2018 when term limits prevented him from running again. In his last term, he was an alternative Chair of the House Administrative Procedures Committee and Vice Chair of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
