Rep. Jared Moskowitz won Florida's newly drawn 25th Congressional District on Tuesday. He beat former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer.
51.5% to 46.4%: Moskowitz's margin with 95% of votes counted. 8:07 p.m. ET: the Associated Press called the race. Rep. Kathy Castor won the 14th District over Republican Mike Beltran. Democrat Pia Dandiya won the open 22nd District over Republican Casey Askar. Why it matters: Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the new map in May. Republicans aimed to gain up to four of Florida's 28 House seats.
Opponents sued under the Fair Districts Amendment; the state Supreme Court let the map stand. 220-215: the current Republican House majority Democrats are trying to overturn.
