Singer faces Democrat Jared E. Moskowitz and Libertarian Peter Jassenoff. The South Florida Sun Sentinel has described the race as close, reporting it could hinge on super PAC spending and voters' views of President Donald Trump. We also published a profile of Moskowitz.

Singer told Fox News about his connection to the district, citing "our community that has a large number of residents who fled communism, like my family, like wife's family did."
