Democrats aim to take back Florida’s 27th Congressional District

Democrats Eliott Rodriguez and Robin Peguero are competing to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar in Florida’s 27th Congressional District. Salazar, who won the seat in 2020 against Donna Shalala, has raised the most campaign funds, while Peguero and Rodriguez criticize policies they say worsen Miami-Dade’s affordability crisis. The Democratic primary is set for August 18, with a general election on November 3.
