Summary
Lev Parnas filed papers Thursday to run as an independent in Florida's 22nd congressional district, entering a South Florida contest that already has 10 candidates.
The field includes eight Republicans and one Democrat, making Parnas the latest entrant in a crowded race for a seat described as heavily contested.
Florida's 22nd district was recently redrawn under Governor Ron DeSantis' push to help Republicans gain as many as four additional House seats in the November midterms.
Parnas is best known as a figure in Donald Trump's first impeachment after helping oust a U.S. ambassador before later turning against the president.
