Rep. Jared Moskowitz Denies Speculation About Leading FEMA Under Trump

The Florida Democrat reaffirms his commitment to Congress following reports of his potential consideration for a role in the Trump administration.

  • Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) stated he has no plans to leave Congress after reports suggested he was a top contender to lead FEMA in President-elect Donald Trump's administration.
  • Moskowitz emphasized on social media that he is committed to running for re-election in Florida's 23rd District and that no official offer was made for the FEMA position.
  • The congressman previously served as Florida's emergency management director under Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, gaining bipartisan praise for his work during Hurricane Michael and the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Moskowitz has recently engaged in bipartisan initiatives, including joining the Department of Government Efficiency Caucus, which aligns with a Trump administration effort to reduce government waste.
  • If Trump were to appoint Moskowitz, it could temporarily reduce the Democratic majority in the House, potentially impacting the balance of power in a closely divided chamber.
