Rivals are melting away as endorsers pile up for Jared Moskowitz’s bid for Congress

The news keeps getting better for Broward County Commissioner Jared Moskowitz’s bid to succeed U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch.

Potential rivals, such as Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis, keep deciding to pass on a bid to represent Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, straddling northwest Broward and Palm Beach counties. Some seen as potential rivals are showing up on the list of people endorsing him.

Palm Beach County’s Democratic Sen. Lori Berman brings the list of elected leaders endorsing Moskowitz to 65. She joins other state lawmakers like Senate Democratic Leader Lauren Book, Miami-Dade Sen. Shevrin Jones and Rep. Christine Hunschofsky of Parkland.
