Moskowitz signals openness to future governor bid in Florida: ‘We've got to see what the data looks like’
Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) signaled on Sunday he was open to possibly running for governor in Florida in 2026.
“We've got to see what the data looks like. We've got to see how the election works between Biden and Trump, and we've got to see what the data looks like,” Moskowitz said on MSNBC’s “The Weekend” when asked directly if he plans to run for governor in 2026.
Moskowitz, who served as director of Emergency Management under Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), touted his experience as a Democrat working under a Republican governor.
“I mean, look, Democrats have a big choice. If Republicans outnumber us by a million votes and Democrats want to have a real chance in winning, it's going to take a Democrat who can appeal to independents and even some Republicans. I worked for a Republican there, right?” he said.
“And so, you know, I would know how to do that. But we're a long ways away,” he continued.
Moskowitz told Politico earlier this month, referring to a potential 2026 campaign for governor, that he is "not ruling it out," adding, "I'm looking at it, but it's super early."
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) would not be eligible to run for a third term because of the state’s term limits, so there would be an open field in a state that has recently trended red.
