Florida 22nd congressional district election

Overview

The race for Florida’s 22nd congressional district between Democratic candidate Pia Dandiya and Republican businessman Casey Askar has become a highly competitive contest. The race was recently upgraded from ‘Lean Republican’ to a ‘Toss-up’ by the Cook Political Report following redistricting efforts.

Campaign activity has intensified with former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg joining Dandiya for a campaign event and canvassing launch in Plantation. While Dandiya leads among independent voters according to a RedBox Research poll, the race remains tight with Dandiya at 46.3 per cent and Askar at 45.5 per cent.

Financial involvement is significant, with substantial spending from various Super PACs. The House Majority PAC has reported spending approximately $7.8 million against Askar, while Republican-aligned groups, such as the No Going Back PAC, have reported spending roughly $6 million to $6.5 million to oppose Dandiya.
