Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz wins reelection to U.S. House in Florida’s 20th District

Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz won re-election to the US House in Florida’s 20th Congressional District, defeating Republican Brent Andersen. The result gives her a 12th term and means her move to a different district paid off.

Wasserman Schultz is Florida’s first Jewish congresswoman and previously served in the state House and Senate. Andersen founded a commercial and property insurance company and campaigned on his experience with reducing insurance costs, a growing concern in Florida; the Associated Press called the race at 7:09 p.m. EST.
