Current office and Broward County background
Jared Moskowitz represents Florida’s 23rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. A Democrat, he began congressional service on January 3, 2023. His earlier public roles include Parkland city commissioner, Florida state representative, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management and Broward County commissioner. His current House work includes Judiciary and Foreign Affairs. S1S2S3
Moskowitz was born in Coral Springs, Florida, on December 18, 1980, and graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland in 1999. Coral Springs is the recorded birthplace; Parkland is a separate community central to his schooling and local elected service. Keeping those places distinct avoids turning a regional connection into an inaccurate birth record. S1
Education and the start of public service
Moskowitz earned a bachelor’s degree at George Washington University in 2003 and a law degree at Nova Southeastern University in 2007. The House historian also identifies work as a campaign staffer, lawyer and business executive. These professional activities preceded his federal legislative career. S1
His official biography says he was elected to the Parkland City Commission while attending law school. The historian dates that local service from 2006 to 2012. The overlap is therefore part of the documented chronology rather than a reason to invent an earlier graduation date. S1S3
Parkland and the Florida Legislature
Moskowitz served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2012 to 2019. His congressional biography describes work on public safety, environmental issues and animal welfare during that period. It also describes his involvement in the response to the 2018 shooting at his former high school and in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School Public Safety Act. S1S3
The biography can record that legislative involvement without reproducing the office’s superlatives about the measure or treating a historical state law as a complete guide to current firearms or school rules. Present legal requirements and court decisions need their own review. The relevant biographical fact is that the event and the subsequent state legislative response formed part of his public record before his emergency-management appointment. S3
State emergency management
Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Moskowitz to lead Florida’s emergency-management division in 2019. The House historian records his tenure through 2021. His official biography describes responsibility for disaster recovery, including Hurricane Michael recovery and the state’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. S1S3
Hurricane Michael occurred before he took the director’s job; the relevant claim is recovery work during his tenure, not that he directed the original landfall response in 2018. Similarly, an office’s description of testing, protective-equipment distribution and vaccine work is an account of administrative responsibilities, not an independent assessment of every outcome. S3S4
This experience is distinct from his current role. A former state emergency director in Congress can propose changes and conduct oversight, but does not continue to run Florida’s emergency operations or personally approve a federal disaster-assistance application.
County office and Congress
The House historian records Moskowitz’s Broward County Commission service in 2022. He then entered the U.S. House in January 2023. The county position was another local-government role, separate from the earlier Parkland commission and the statewide agency appointment. S1
In the current Congress, his official biography identifies service on Judiciary and Foreign Affairs and a ranking-member role on Foreign Affairs’ Oversight and Intelligence Subcommittee. The current House directory additionally lists the select subcommittee investigating questions about January 6, 2021. Those institutional assignments are not findings about the merits of any particular investigation. S2S3
Disaster-policy proposals in Congress
Moskowitz introduced the FEMA Independence Act of 2025 with Representative Byron Donalds. The Government Publishing Office records H.R. 2308 as introduced on March 24, 2025. His May 2026 announcement of a Homeland Security reform package describes the proposal to separate FEMA from the Department of Homeland Security. It is a proposed institutional change, not evidence that FEMA had already been reorganized in that way. S5S6
A further example is the Emergency Preparedness in Higher Education Act announced with Representative Troy Carter on October 14, 2026. The official announcement describes proposed support for campus preparedness through FEMA. It should not be presented as a current grant award or an open funding opportunity solely because the bill was introduced. S7
These proposals connect directly with his earlier emergency-management responsibilities. Their policy merits and eventual outcomes are separate questions from the fact of introduction. A college, household or local government seeking assistance should use the current agency program rather than assume a congressional proposal has created a new benefit.
Public contact
Moskowitz’s Washington office is at 242 Cannon House Office Building, Washington, DC 20515, with telephone 202-225-3001. His official biography lists a Coral Springs office at 9500 West Sample Road, Suite 201, Coral Springs, Florida 33065, with telephone 754-240-6330, and also supplies a Fort Lauderdale contact location. Confirm current appointment arrangements through the office. S2S3
The congressional website is the appropriate route for federal-agency casework and legislative correspondence. A request for help is not a guarantee of disaster reimbursement or a substitute for an agency appeal. This profile records the holder checked on October 28, 2026 and preserves the separate municipal, state legislative, executive-agency, county and federal stages of his career.
