In Florida, Wasserman Schultz sparks a debate over what representation means in diverse districts
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is running for reelection to Congress in a new district after Republicans reshaped Florida's congressional map, forcing her across previous district lines. This move has sparked debate regarding representation and history in Broward County, with critics like former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick calling it an erasure of black access. Wasserman Schultz stated she can represent the region broadly, while opponents criticized the redistricting ploy as taking away Black representation.
