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 Bay’s Kathy Castor and South Florida’s 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, I’m Tampa Bay’s congresswoman and I’m going to fight to lower costs,” Castor told this reporter in an interview on WMNF 88.5 FM Radio in Tampa.
