Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer announced today, Dec. 18, that he is running for Congress.
Singer, a Republican and supporter of President Donald Trump, is hoping to unseat U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a Democrat who was first elected in 2022 and re-elected in 2024, to represent Florida's 23rd Congressional District.
Singer’s announcement is no surprise. Boca Raton residents have long expected him to try to defeat Moskowitz.
He was first elected to the City Council in 2014 and has served as mayor since 2018. Singer is term-limited from running again. His last day in office is March 31.
The 23rd District covers Boca Raton and Highland Beach, runs west to Coral Springs and south into Fort Lauderdale.
“As a three-term mayor, I fought to keep taxes and crime low and delivered results to provide a safe and thriving place to live,” Singer said on Facebook.
“I’m running for Congress as an America First conservative who believes that we need leaders in D.C. who will work to build on President Trump’s success to secure our borders, defend our nation, cut waste, and bring taxes and costs down for all Americans.”
A lawyer, Singer graduated from Harvard University and Georgetown Law.
