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 scrambled Florida’s congressional map. She faces opposition from candidates who argue her move constitutes an 'erasure of our history' and threatens Black representation. Wasserman Schultz, the best-funded Democratic candidate among five, argues she can advocate broadly because she has represented diverse communities across three decades.
