沃瑟曼·舒尔茨转战新的国会选区取得了成效，这位前民主党全国委员会主席成功获得第12个任期。她是佛罗里达州选出的首位犹太裔女众议员，在赢得联邦职位前曾在该州众议院和参议院任职。安德森创办了一家商业和财产保险公司，并表示这一经历让他对降低财产保险成本有独特见解，这是佛罗里达州日益关注的问题。美联社于美国东部时间晚上7点09分宣布沃瑟曼·舒尔茨获胜。
Wasserman Schultz’s switch to a new congressional district paid off as the former Democratic National Committee chair secured a 12th term in office. She is the first Jewish congresswoman elected from Florida and served in the state’s House and Senate before winning federal office. Andersen founded a commercial and property insurance company and said that experience gave him unique insight into lowering property insurance costs, a growing concern in Florida. The Associated Press declared Wasserman Schultz the winner at 7:09 p.m. EST.
