GOP challenger tears into Dem's 'moderate' image: 'Votes with the squad 90% of the time'

Republican Scott Singer, a former Boca Raton mayor, is arguing that voters in a closely watched South Florida House contest should look past Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz's moderate, pro-Israel reputation and focus on partisan alignment. Singer contends the incumbent's record and the national Democratic Party's direction do not match the image he projects. The race is being fought in a district that was recently redrawn, and Singer describes it as now leaning Republican by five points, according to Fox News.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Singer said his years in city government, where he says he lowered taxes, red tape and crime, along with steadfast backing for Israel, offer a sharp choice. He accused Moskowitz of siding with "the squad" 90% of the time, supporting a Foreign Affairs Committee seat for Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar, failing to pass legislation, and buying and selling $4.5 million worth of stock while in office.

Singer noted that the new boundaries stretch from Boca Raton, where he served eight years, south to Miami Beach, his birthplace, and Fort Lauderdale, where he grew up. He said Moskowitz neither lives in nor comes from the area. Singer also pointed to Jewish voters, about 25% of the district, drifting rightward, and to residents who reject socialism and communism, which he says Moskowitz refuses to condemn. He presented the contest as pivotal for House leadership, and described his business-friendly fiscal conservatism as the core of his campaign.
