Recent polling and independent race ratings have kept Florida’s 22nd congressional district competitive, with Pia Dandiya holding a narrow edge in head-to-head surveys and several forecasters shifting the seat from Lean Republican to Toss-up. The open seat, created by mid-decade redistricting that added Republican-leaning territory while retaining competitive pockets in Broward and Palm Beach counties, features a district that supported Trump by roughly 11 points in 2024 yet showed Biden strength in 2020. Dandiya, a former educator and White House fellow, emphasizes cost-of-living relief and congressional stock-trading reforms, while Askar, a Marine veteran and businessman who prevailed in a crowded Republican primary, focuses on taxes, regulations, and affordability. Negative advertising on business records and personal finances from both sides, combined with tied generic-ballot results and substantial fundraising by each campaign, has prevented either candidate from establishing a durable advantage ahead of the November 3 general election.
