Peter Jassenoff, a Libertarian, is running for Florida's 25th Congressional District seat in the Nov. 3 general election. He faces Democrat Jared E. Moskowitz and Republican Scott Singer.

Jassenoff, a pharmaceutical researcher and self-described single father, said his candidacy is "more about just getting the Libertarian name out there more than anything," according to the Sun Sentinel. He is certified for the ballot in the district, which spans parts of Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.

Candidate information

  • Party: Libertarian
  • Age: 33 (as of July 2026)
  • Occupation: Pharmaceutical researcher, according to Jassenoff
  • FEC committee: Peter Jassenoff for Congress (filed June 17, 2026)
  • Campaign finances (through June 30, 2026): $10,500 in total receipts, all from individual contributions; $10,440 in disbursements for the qualifying fee; $60 cash on hand, according to FEC records

Experience and public service

Jassenoff describes himself as a pharmaceutical researcher. No prior elected office or public service record appears in available public records.

He said he became a registered Libertarian a few years ago after years as a Republican. He told the Sun Sentinel he stopped agreeing with much of what Republicans are doing. On his Libertarian Party bio, Jassenoff described himself as "just a single dad trying to help his local community get exposure to the only political party that has resonated with him and been able to support with a healthy conscience."

On the issues

Government role and individual liberty: Jassenoff said he supports Libertarian Party philosophy. He described that as keeping government involvement in private decisions to a minimum, including free markets, little government regulation, limited government programs and minimal military engagements overseas, according to the Sun Sentinel.

Ballot challenge

The Republican Party of Florida and three Republican primary candidates, Scott Singer, Dan Franzese and George Moraitis, filed a lawsuit to remove Jassenoff from the November ballot. They alleged he used a personal check rather than a campaign check to pay the $10,440 qualifying fee.

The Republicans dropped the lawsuit after financial records confirmed the check came from a campaign account, the Sun Sentinel reported. Jassenoff remained on the ballot and advanced to the general election after the Libertarian Party primary was canceled.

The race

The 25th Congressional District seat is also being sought by Moskowitz, a Democrat, and Singer, a Republican. The Aventura Beacon has also profiled Moskowitz.

The general election is Nov. 3.
