FL-11, FL-23: Democratic Reps. Kathy Castor & Debbie Wasserman Schultz say they're running again this fall
Two Florida Democratic members of Congress who have seen their districts radically altered by the newly approved congressional redistricting map this week said Friday that they intend to run again this fall.
Tampa Bays Kathy Castor and South Floridas Debbie Wasserman Schultz are among the most vulnerable Democratic incumbents following legislative passage of Gov. Ron DeSantis redistricting map, which polls show the majority of Floridians oppose.
They, along with Central Florida Rep. Darren Soto, all confirmed on Friday that they intend to run for office in November.
This is my home. No matter how they draw lines on the map, Im Tampa Bays congresswoman and Im going to fight to lower costs, Castor told this reporter in an interview on WMNF 88.5 FM Radio in Tampa.
