The Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC affiliated with House Republican leadership, on Tuesday pulled its ads against Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), according to Punchbowl News, a sign that the moderate Democrat is favored to win.
Florida Republicans had redrawn the district, which includes a substantial Jewish population, to be more favorable to Republicans, hoping to boost former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer. CLF had been planning to spend up to $6 million in the district.
The Cook Political Report shifted the seat from a “toss-up” to “lean Democratic” last week, in a sign of Moskowitz’s strength. President Donald Trump won the redrawn district by nine points in the 2024 election.
Despite shifts in the electorate overall, Moskowitz has remained highly popular among the area’s Jewish community as one of the most outspoken pro-Israel Democrats in the House. Both candidates have sought to attract the Jewish community vote.
Moskowitz, who easily defeated a far-left Democratic challenger in the primary, entered the final stretch of the race with a substantial cash advantage over Singer, with $1.8 million on hand to Singer’s $560,000.
“Every election is up to the voters. As I continue to talk with them, they say the same thing about bringing down prices and the cost of living, protecting Social Security and Medicare, fixing our healthcare system, and continuing our fight against antisemitism,” Moskowitz said in a statement to Jewish Insider last week. “I am focused on the issues that matter most to the people of South Florida.”
Singer campaign spokesperson Michael Stwarka said that his campaign remains “very confident” in victory and asserted that Singer’s internal polling shows him leading the race.
“Voters are responding to Scott’s proven record. They are souring on Jared especially when they learn he passed zero bills in Congress, that he voted to keep Ilhan Omar on her committee assignment, and that he focused his time stock trading while in office instead of getting things done. His record of results is abysmal and doesn’t stand up when compared to Scott’s. The voters will reject Jared Moskowitz for his abysmal record on Nov. 3,” Stwarka said. “We are seeing that Scott’s messaging is working and that Jared Moskowitz’s unfavorables are going in the wrong direction.”
The district is one of a growing number of competitive seats abandoned by GOP leadership.

Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) leaves the U.S. Capitol after the last votes of the week on Thursday, September 4, 2025.
The Congressional Leadership Fund, the independent expenditure arm of the House GOP aligned with Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), is withdrawing plans for independent spending against Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH), alongside several other districts the PAC is seen as essentially surrendering to Democrats, according to The New York Times.
Landsman, a moderate Jewish Democrat, is running for reelection in a district the Cook Political Report rates as “lean Democrat,” even though President Donald Trump won the district in 2024.
Landsman has been outspoken in support of Israel and the Jewish community, and was one of the small handful of Democrats who initially supported the war in Iran.
CLF is also reportedly pulling out of Michigan’s 8th Congressional District, held by Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet (D-MI), another moderate Democrat, as well as the districts currently held by Reps. Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) and Don Bacon (R-NE), who is retiring.
Democrats nominated moderate candidates in all those races.
