Mujica’s entry follows newly released polling that suggests CD 28, which spans part of Miami-Dade County and all of Monroe County, may be more competitive than in past cycles.

A survey conducted in early March found Giménez leading Mujica by just 6 percentage points, 46% to 40%, with 14% undecided.

Notably, Mujica held a 5-point advantage among independent and no-party-affiliated voters — a critical bloc in the district — and trailed by only 4 points on a generic ballot test, within the poll’s 4.3-point margin of error.
