Why is Piya Dandia important?
Dundia, a former school principal, ran in a newly redrawn district in South Florida. This seat was one of those tough contests, which can play an important role in deciding control of the House.

Thank you, FL-22, for believing in this campaign. I got into this race for my students, my son, and every kid growing up in this district who deserves a better future. Together, we will keep building a movement to lower costs, end corruption, and make Washington work for us again. I'm grateful to do it with you all. Tonight, we celebrate.
