Former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer (R) has formally announced his run for Florida's 25th congressional district.
"I am excited to announce that I'm running in a district where I was born, raised, and live today," Singer said in a press release. "As Mayor of Boca Raton, I fought to keep taxes and crime low and delivered results to provide a safe, vibrant, and more affordable place to live. We need leaders in Congress who will work to build on the success President Trump has had to secure our borders, defend our nation, reduce waste, and bring tax relief to Americans."
Singer initially announced in December that he was running in the 23rd congressional district, seeking to unseat Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). However, with the new redistricting map approved by the Florida Legislature, Singer has now shifted to the 25th district race.
It currently remains unknown whether Rep. Moskowitz will run in the 23rd district race.
Nevertheless, Singer is in a good position to win the newly reorganized 25th congressional district seat, which is considered a "toss-up" or Republican-leaning district with the new map.
In mid-March, Singer gained the support of several Broward County figures, including Deerfield Beach Mayor Todd Drosky and City Commissioner Michael Hudak, Highland Beach Mayor Natasha Moore, Weston Mayor Peggy Brown, Delray Beach Mayor Tom Carney, Hillsboro Beach Commissioner Jane Reiser, and former Hillsboro Beach Mayor Deb Tarrant.
At the beginning of April, the former Boca Raton Mayor boasted of raising $1,346,863 in the first quarter of 2026, with $1.2 million in liquid funds, or "cash on hand," which is a pretty good war chest haul in several months.
Last week, Singer was accused of endorsing Democratic state rep candidate Andy Thomson over Republican Peggy Gossett-Seidman in House District 91 in 2022, a claim he denied in comments to The Floridian.
"I never endorsed Andy Thomson - not in 2022 or ever. I said that he knew our community and had served Boca Raton well. Months later, he used my comments in a release," stated Singer. "It was not an endorsement. That word was not used. Even he didn't call my comments an endorsement."
