Background
Jared Moskowitz was born on December 18, 1980, in Coral Springs, Florida. His father, Michael, was an attorney, philanthropist and Democratic fundraiser.
Moskowitz graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science from George Washington University in 2003, and received a Juris Doctor from the Shepard Broad Law Center at Nova Southeastern University in 2007.
He was admitted to the Florida Bar in 2008. He is married to Leah Rifkin, and the couple has two children.
Career
Moskowitz began his political career as an intern for Vice President Al Gore and was elected to the Parkland City Commission in 2006 while attending law school, winning reelection in 2010.
He also worked as director of government relations and general counsel for AshBritt Environmental, a disaster recovery and environmental services company.
From 2012 to 2019 he represented the 97th district in the Florida House of Representatives, where he helped draft the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Safety Act after the 2018 shooting at the school.
Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Moskowitz director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, a post he held from 2019 to 2021 through two hurricane seasons and the COVID-19 pandemic.
DeSantis then appointed him to the Broward County Commission, where he served until his election to the U.S. House in 2022, when he won the 23rd district with 51.6% of the vote against Republican Joe Budd.
He was re-elected in 2024 with 52.5%, and in the 119th Congress he serves on the Foreign Affairs and Judiciary committees.

In 2026 Moskowitz is running in Florida's 25th congressional district, whose Democratic incumbent, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, withdrew to run in the 20th district. In the Democratic primary he defeated Oliver Larkin, a digital strategist and union organizer, with 63.5% of the vote.
His Republican opponent in the general election on November 3, 2026, is Scott Singer, a former mayor of Boca Raton who won a five-candidate Republican primary with 31.4%. Libertarian Peter Jassenoff is also on the general election ballot.
