Dr. Rudolph Moise has suspended his run for Florida’s 20th congressional district.
“I am stepping away from the race for Congress in Florida’s 20th District, not because the fight is over, but because the stakes are too high for ego, division, or political games,” he said in a statement.
The move is the first major shakeup in the race since Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D- Weston) entered it last Friday. Moise referenced Wasserman Schultz by name, and said his decision was motivated in part to avoid fracturing the Black vote in the historically Black district.
