NEW: Out of touch Democrat Jared Moskowitz is in deep trouble
Despite talking a big game, a brutal report shows out of touch Democrat Jared Moskowitz – who’s only accomplishment is starting the Sneaker Caucus – is, understandably, in deep trouble.
Moskowitz has been bucking his constituents, is Florida’s least effective Democrat lawmaker, and had an abysmal fundraising quarter, bringing in less than $170k.
No wonder Floridians are calling for a primary challenger…
“Jared Moskowitz spends his days gallivanting around in tacky sneakers and desperately trying to get attention on Twitter – what a shock his fundraising numbers are embarrassingly low and his constituents are fed up. Floridians will tell him to take a hike next November – hopefully his tacky sneakers are comfortable.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

The “People’s Town Hall,” organized by the Hope & Action, Indivisible’s Broward County chapter, served as a chance at catharsis for angry progressives in a traditionally Democratic part of the state, with many venting opposition to the GOP administration’s rapidly deployed policies.
Organizers invited three Democratic members of Congress to the event, including U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, the Parkland Democrat representing Florida’s 23rd Congressional District where the event was held.
None showed.
That left Jennifer Jones, an organizer for the event, irritated with the members of Congress during a moment demanding party unity.

Anger at Moskowitz’s no-show went on full display at the event, where calls for a Primary challenge to the Democratic incumbent led news reports afterward. WLRN Public Media headlined an article with the quote, “Where’s Jared?”

The apparent dissension among Democrats, combined with a change in voting patterns throughout South Florida, has Republicans smelling blood in Broward. NRCC staff scoffed at Moskowitz’s no-show at the Indivisible town hall and the two-term incumbent’s lackluster fundraising early this cycle.
“Here’s some free advice for lazy, out of touch Jared Moskowitz: Spend less time trying to be a funny guy on Twitter and more time working for your constituents,” said Maureen O’Toole, a spokesperson for the NRCC. “Floridians are sick and tired of Moskowitz’s antics, and they’ll show him the door next November.”
Moskowitz closed the first quarter this year with $392,000 in cash on hand, with less than $170,000 of that raised this year. By comparison, two Republicans — Raven Harrison and George Moraitis — both sit on about $250,000, though that comes largely from self-funding.
The group also pointed to rankings by the Center for Effective Lawmaking on the proficiency of House members at passing legislation. Moskowitz rated lower than any other Florida Representative.
