FL-20: Ro Khanna endorses Elijah Manley in CD 20 Democratic primary
Elijah Manley, one of the four Democrats opposing Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Broward County’s newly reconfigured Congressional District 20, announced Thursday that he has been endorsed by California Democratic U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna.
Wasserman Schultz chose to run after her existing CD 22 seat was redrawn, becoming much more GOP-leaning as part of the new map designed by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office and approved by the GOP-controlled Legislature in April.
Her decision has been extremely controversial. Among the critics has been the Florida Legislative Black Caucus, which noted in a statement that the district “has a rich history of Black representation.”
“I’m proud to endorse Elijah Manley, the only progressive in this race,” Khanna said in a written statement. “He refuses corporate money and will fight to end the US-funded genocide. He understands this district’s economic struggles firsthand, as an educator who works with its kids and who grew up homeless after his family lost their home in the global financial crisis.”
