Wasserman Schultz announces candidacy for Florida's 20th Congressional District
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Friday she will run for Congress in Florida's 20th District, previously represented by Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick who resigned amid ethics allegations. Wasserman Schultz is leaving her current 25th District seat, which was redrawn to be more competitive for Republicans following GOP-led redistricting. Her move has drawn criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, with some Black Democrats expressing concern about her entry into a majority-Black district.
