Tim Canova has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission against Debbie Wasserman Schultz, asserting she illegally utilized the resources with the Democratic National Committee to undermine his campaign.

U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz easily won her South Florida district six times, but a Democratic primary challenge from a Bernie Sanders-backed law professor is making her seventh bid less than a sure bet — and her recent resignation as Democratic National Committee chairwoman hasn’t helped. Tim Canova has raised about $2.8 million thanks to […]

For those of you excited about the Summer Olympics, now is your time. Comcast says it will be broadcasting 6,800 hours of programming on 11 channels, and “up to” 41 live streams.

Tim Canova, the law professor who is challenging Debbie Wasserman Schultz in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, says he is happy to hear that the Democratic incumbent has finally agreed to debate him.

Democrat Tim Canova has brought on the same consulting firm that made the iconic ads for Bernie Sanders‘ 2016 presidential campaign. Canova, a first-time candidate, is running against incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Aug. 30 Democratic primary in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District. Gabriel Debenedetti of POLITICO is reporting Tad Devine, Mark Longabaugh and […]

The Democratic National Convention is fertile fundraising ground this week for one Florida congressional candidate, but not in the traditional sense of high-priced donor dinners or lobbyist happy hours. In fact, Tim Canova isn’t even in Philadelphia. Instead, the political novice who wants to unseat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is reaping big financial rewards from […]

Outgoing DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz is facing the strongest challenge of her congressional career back home in South Florida from Democrat Tim Canova.

The furor over leaked emails not only got U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz heckled out of her speaking role Monday at the Democratic National Convention; it’s also providing fodder for her congressional primary opponent. Wasserman Schultz announced her resignation as Democratic National Committee chair for the sake of party unity after the e-mails indicated that […]

At least some of the delegates to this week’s Democratic National Convention will get to hear Debbie Wasserman Schultz address a crowd.
