Here are 7 places to find it<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The move comes after democratic socialist and labor union organizer Oliver Larkin worked to sway delegates at the federation\u2019s annual mid-June endorsement convention against Moskowitz, who has represented parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties since 2023.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>During the closed-door Florida AFL-CIO vote, some labor leaders raised concerns Larkin had flagged to them, including about Moskowitz becoming the first Democrat to join the DOGE Caucus in late 2024 \u2014 a congressional effort critics see as backing Elon Musk\u2019s mass layoffs of federal workers at the beginning of Donald Trump\u2019s second term \u2014 according to Rich Templin, Florida AFL-CIO\u2019s director of politics and public policy.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Moskowitz\u2019 endorsement then failed to capture the necessary two-thirds vote, even though the Broward AFL-CIO had unanimously voted to recommend his statewide endorsement.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Broward AFL-CIO president Andy Madtes said the local branch has since filed a request to a smaller committee that can make endorsements outside of the convention to reverse the decision and back Moskowitz ahead of the Aug. 18 primary. That decision could come as soon as this week.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But Florida AFL-CIO\u2019s initial decision not to endorse Moskowitz, 45 \u2014 at the urging of a democratic socialist candidate \u2014 comes as the national Democratic Party saw a string of wins by democratic socialist candidates endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the state\u2019s primaries last week. Larkin, 33, pointed to the no-endorsement decision as evidence of momentum for progressive candidates like him, even in solidly red Florida.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is validation and proof of concept of what we\u2019ve been campaigning on since the beginning,\u201d Larkin said. \u201cThis is central to the crisis within the Democratic Party of not being entirely responsive to the needs of the working class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Larkin is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a political organization that pushes for more progressive government policies than the Democratic Party, but whose candidates typically run under the Democratic Party banner.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>With the high name recognition that comes with being an incumbent, Moskowitz still has a much easier path to victory in the Democratic primary than Larkin. And any Democrat will have to win crossover votes from Republicans and sway non-party-affiliated voters in November, after Gov. Ron DeSantis redrew Florida\u2019s 25th District in a way that favors Republicans.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>There is now no Florida AFL-CIO endorsed candidate in Florida\u2019s 25th District, where both candidates are running. The coastal district stretches from Palm Beach County down to Miami Beach.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Moskowitz\u2019s campaign pointed to its own polling, a string of local labor endorsements, including from the Broward Teachers Union, and his voting record as evidence of his continued support from labor leaders.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe momentum behind this campaign speaks for itself: a commanding 32-point lead in the Democratic primary, a 95% pro-labor voting record with the AFL-CIO,\u201d and a string of local labor endorsements, a spokesperson for the Moskowitz campaign said in a statement to the Miami Herald.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>But Tessa Barber, a labor organizer who attended the Florida AFL-CIO endorsement convention, said she hopes the decision communicates a message to Democrats like Moskowitz that the backing of labor organizers is not a given \u2014 even in Florida races where Democrats are on their back foot.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of endorsement is not so much a snub as maybe it is a wake-up call to say that, especially here in Florida, workers are struggling and the status quo, what we have right now, it\u2019s not enough,\u201d said Barber, the president of the University of South Florida\u2019s graduate employee union, Graduate Assistants United.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>The only one not endorsed<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>All the other sitting Democratic members of Congress running for reelection received the union federation\u2019s statewide endorsement during the annual convention, including Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who is running in the historically Black 20th District against the recently resigned congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick. The group also endorsed one Republican in Florida\u2019s congressional races: Miami Rep. Mario D\u00edaz-Balart.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The symbolic initial rejection of Moskowitz came after Larkin had been lobbying labor union leaders against him. Larkin\u2019s campaign produced a five-page brief that was distributed to leaders and reviewed by the Herald detailing all of the ways he sees Moskowitz as \u201cthe Democrat the far right can count on.\u201d Moskowitz is Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 former emergency management director.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Larkin told the Herald he spent 10 hours on his feet at the convention introducing himself to delegates and making the case against his opponent, accusing him of lending DOGE layoffs \u201cbipartisan credibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/floridamovingchronicle.com\/?p=2434\">How the Miami Circle, a 2,000-year-old site in Brickell, was found and saved<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>He said Moskowitz\u2019 participation in the caucus signals that he was \u201ctrying to find this bipartisanship with the world\u2019s first trillionaire, Elon Musk, who spent $275 million to elect Donald Trump. Democrats don\u2019t want to see their representatives reaching across the aisle to work with the billionaire class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Madtes, the Broward AFL-CIO president, said he was shocked Moskowitz didn\u2019t get the endorsement at the statewide convention and said he believes labor leaders are unified behind Moskowitz in Broward County. He viewed Moskowitz\u2019s role on the DOGE Caucus \u2014 which never actually met \u2014 as an effort by the congressman to be a voice for workers amid sweeping federal layoffs.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p><!--was back and forth on the \u201cmisinformation\u201d thing, but I think we keep it... so updated cue to add it back in -->Broward Teachers Union president Anna Fusco said she was \u201cabsolutely bothered\u201d that Moskowitz didn\u2019t get the statewide endorsement, saying that \u201cmisinformation\u201d was passed around by Larkin. She was in the closed-door meeting where the vote took place and said Moskowitz barely missed the two-thirds threshold for endorsement, but that she saw the decision as a delay for additional discussion, not a rejection of Moskowitz.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<h2>Democratic socialism in Florida<\/h2>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>The Democratic Socialists of America, the organization Larkin is a member of, has been at odds with establishment Democrats in recent weeks, especially after their candidates\u2019 success in Democratic primaries in New York.<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Former Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison posted on social media last week, \u201cIf you hate the Democratic Party, then please don\u2019t run for our nomination.

Don\u2019t use our infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- --><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>While there isn\u2019t a universal definition for democratic socialism, the movement generally believes that direct government actions, like universal healthcare and taxing the wealthy, should be taken to address everyday Americans\u2019 problems. The Democratic Socialists of America describes it as a system that prioritizes the needs of ordinary people while rejecting authoritarianism. Larkin said he\u2019s running on Medicare for all, a $25 federal minimum wage, expanding Social Security and taxing billionaires.<\/p>\n<p><!--]--><!--[--><\/p>\n<p>Larkin has regularly compared himself to Mamdani, writing in January on X, \u201cIn 2025, New Yorkers elected a 34 year old democratic socialist as mayor.
