Theodore E. "Ted" Deutch (born May 7, 1966) is a Democratic member of the U.S. Representative for Florida's 21st congressional district. He first won election to Congress during a special election in April 2010 in Florida's 19th district. He previously served in the Florida Senate. == Early life, education, and law career ==

Deutch was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of Jean (née Mindlin) and the late Bernard Deutch. His grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Lithuania and Russia.

2010 elections

Special
See also: Florida's 19th congressional district special election, 2010 and United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2010 § District 19

In late 2009, Deutch declared himself a candidate in a special election to fill the 19th congressional district seat formerly held by Robert Wexler, who left Congress to lead the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation. He won the Democratic primary with 85% of the vote, and on April 13, 2010, won the special election, defeating Republican Edward J. Lynch.

Deutch's district is located on the east coast of Florida. It includes parts of Palm Beach and Broward counties, and the city of Coral Springs. The district trends Democratic, giving 65% of its votes to President Barack Obama in 2008.

General

Deutch was challenged by Republican nominee Joe Budd and write-in candidate Stan Smilan.

2012 elections

Redistricting
See also: United States House of Representatives elections in Florida, 2012

After Florida underwent redistricting in 2012, Deutch filed for re-election in Florida's 21st district. Deutch easily won the November 6, 2012 general election with no major party opposition.

Legislative Record

Shortly after his election, Deutch introduced the Preserving our Promise to Seniors Act, which aims to keep Social Security benefits in line with retirees' costs and gradually lifts the cap on FICA taxes over a period of seven years.

During the 2011 debate over the debt ceiling, Deutch assembled and brought to the House floor an elaborate, game-show style to illustrate which government services he claimed would be endangered by a default on the U.S. national debt.

Committee assignments

Creator of Congressional Hellenic-Israel Alliance

A new joint action committee for the Greek-Israeli alliance has been created in early 2013 by Ted Deutch and Congress member Gus Bilirakis, Republican representative from Florida. The creation and goals of the Greek-Israeli Caucus under the name Congressional Hellenic-Israel Alliance were announced at a special event held in the Congress. The Greek-Israeli Caucus consists of powerful members of both Republican and Democratic party
