Her win preserves Democratic control of the newly drawn Broward County seat after redistricting reshaped the district and opened the race.
- On Tuesday, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz won reelection to represent Florida's 20th Congressional District, defeating Republican Brent Andersen in the race.
- Wasserman Schultz sought the 20th District seat after GOP-led redistricting reshaped her previous 25th District, while the vacancy arose following former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick's resignation in April.
- During the campaign, Black Democrats challenged her bid, arguing it undermined Black political representation; she defeated Cherfilus-McCormick in the August primary.

- Andersen, a Republican businessman, campaigned on lowering property insurance costs, though the district remains home to a large Black voting population that has historically influenced regional outcomes.
