Pia Dandiya is contesting Florida’s 22nd Congressional District in the 2026 midterms against Republican Casey Askar. Both candidates seek an open seat after Democrat Lois Frankel moved districts. Dandiya, who won the Democratic primary, focuses on housing, insurance, healthcare, childcare, and education. If elected, she would be Florida’s first South Asian American in the US Congress. She has prior experience in Senator Bill Nelson’s office and as a White House Fellow.
