The Cook Political Report’s most recent Partisan Voter Index shows what voters in Miami have known for years: Carlos Curbelo’s days in elected office are numbered.
“There is widespread voter backlash against Congressman Carlos Curbelo’s extreme positions, like his Committee vote for the Republican healthcare repeal bill, and his response has been to hide from the hardworking Miami families he claims to represent,” said Cole Leiter, DCCC spokesperson, “That’s sad and it’s exactly why he is among the most vulnerable Members of Congress in Washington.”

The sophomore congressman might be the single most vulnerable Republican in the country going into the 2018 election, according to a new analysis of partisanship in congressional districts.
The Cook Political Report, which has been publishing its Partisan Voting Index since 1997, found that Curbelo represents the most Democratic of districts held by Republican members of Congress.
Florida’s 26th district, which extends from Westchester to Key West, performed an average of 6 percentage points more Democratic than the nation did as a whole between the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections, Cook Report editor David Wasserman found in his report, released Friday.
