Florida CD – U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez endorses former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer, praising his local leadership as the campaign targets Florida’s redrawn 25th District.
A new endorsement is sharpening the race for Florida’s redrawn 25th Congressional District, with U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez throwing his support behind former Boca Raton Mayor Scott Singer.
Giménez, a fellow Republican and a former Miami-Dade County mayor who later moved to Congress, said he’s backing Singer because of what he views as demonstrated results from local government. The endorsement lands just days after Singer shifted his campaign focus to the 25th District.
In remarks circulated by Misryoum. Giménez argued that leadership at the city and county level is less about public messaging and more about managing daily pressure points. from budgeting decisions to public safety.. He framed Singer’s mayoral background as a practical advantage for a congressional campaign.
This kind of early reinforcement matters in competitive House races, especially in a district shaped by redistricting. It signals how national and local GOP networks may align as candidates try to build credibility with voters who are often skeptical of promises untethered to track records.
Singer. who previously held the mayor’s office for three terms and exited due to term limits. has leaned into an “America First” approach and has emphasized national security and alliances.. Giménez’s endorsement points to overlapping priorities. including support for Israel and a posture aimed at countering threats he says are emerging abroad.
Meanwhile. Singer’s path to Congress also reflects the politics of South Florida’s evolving geography after the district line changes.. The campaign says Singer is familiar with the region. and his candidacy now stretches along the southeast coast from Delray Beach through Broward and into Miami Beach.
Misryoum also notes that Singer has built momentum through endorsements from multiple local officials across the area, as well as through roles connected to policy and public advocacy. He has continued presenting his candidacy as both a values-driven and experience-driven alternative.
The endorsement does not fully settle the broader Republican field. including the question of whether other GOP hopefuls in Florida’s 23rd District will also pursue the 25th in light of the redrawn map.. For now. the focus is on whether this blend of local leadership branding and national-security emphasis can expand Singer’s appeal beyond party lines.
This matters for voters because it may help define the campaign’s contrast in a district where elections often hinge on who can best translate local governance experience into federal priorities.. As Misryoum looks ahead. the coming months will show how endorsements. district strategy. and turnout efforts shape the outcome between the nominees.
The Republican primary is set for Aug. 18, with the general election on Nov. 3.
