Republican congressional candidate Scott Singer is making the case that party, not just policy, will be decisive in his closely watched South Florida showdown with Democrat Rep. Jared Moskowitz, arguing that the incumbent’s moderate, pro-Israel image is at odds with his voting record and the direction of the Democrat Party. Singer, the former mayor of Boca Raton, told Fox News Digital that he believes his record of cutting taxes and reducing crime at the local level, combined with unwavering support for Israel, gives voters a clear contrast in Florida’s newly redrawn 25th Congressional District.
"Well, it is a tough cycle, but people understand the real Jared Moskowitz, one who votes with the squad 90% of the time, voted to put [Rep.] Ilhan Omar [D-Minn.] on the Foreign Affairs Committee, has passed no bills in Congress, but traded $4.5 million worth of stocks since he's been there. This district, after redistricting, is now a Republican plus five district," Singer told Fox News Digital. GOP'S SINGER 'VERY PREPARED' TO OUST DEM MOSKOWITZ IN TOSS-UP FLORIDA RACE THAT COULD DETERMINE HOUSE MAJORITY "It takes in all of Boca Raton, where I was mayor for eight years, cut taxes, red tape, and crime, and goes down to Miami Beach, where I was born, and Fort Lauderdale, where I was raised," he continued.
"Moskowitz doesn't live in the district, he's not from the district. "But beyond that, the Republican plus five, a trend in Jewish voters, of which we have 25% … in our district, moving more conservatively, and people who are opposed to socialism and communism, which he will not denounce, understand that this is a critical race for House leadership, and they want someone like me, a local leader with a record of results." Singer's business-friendly fiscal conservatism is the cornerstone of his campaign, and provides the policy framework for his priorities on Capitol Hill. "Well, it gives me the record of results one would need.
As mayor of Boca Raton, not only did we have the lowest property tax rate of any full-service city in Florida, I cut the tax rate seven times. I cut red tape, 21 streamlining initiatives," he said. "I cut crime by more than 25% from what were 40-year lows.
Those are a record of results that people can relate to, because we improved the quality of life, improved the job base, lowered taxes, and made our streets safer." UNEARTHED AUDIT EXPOSES VULNERABLE DEM'S HANDLING OF COVID RELIEF FUNDS: 'GROSS OVERSIGHT' Singer continued: "That's what we want right now in America. We want secure borders, not like the porous borders that Jared Moskowitz supported under [former] President [Joe] Biden that have increased crime and ravaged communities. They want tax relief, not the tax hike that he voted for. $4 trillion, including taxes on Social Security, tipped workers, small businesses and families that are hurting.
Now he's trying to come around with a modest talk of the gas tax reduction. "He had the chance to vote on taxes and repeatedly has voted for higher taxes. People want a leader with a record of results.
