PALM BEACH, Fla. /PRNewswire/ — Dan Franzese announced today the official launch of his campaign for the U.S. House of Representatives in President Donald J. Trump’s home district in Palm Beach County, Florida (FL CD -22), running on a record of business leadership, community service, and conservative values.

Franzese is a proud America First candidate who enters the race focused on affordability, accountability, and ensuring South Florida families have a representative who delivers results and puts the district first.

“Florida needs leaders who know how to build, manage, and deliver results, not just talk about them,” said Dan Franzese. “I’ve spent my life creating jobs, balancing budgets, and solving problems. In Congress, I will focus on affordability, responsible governance, and policies that strengthen Florida families and our local economy.”

An honors graduate of Amherst College who also earned an MBA at the Wharton School of Business, Franzese built a decades-long career in finance and investment management, helping grow businesses, create jobs, and responsibly steward capital. He later brought those same principles to his community, serving as a church treasurer and chief financial officer, strengthening financial controls and restoring fiscal balance, an experience he says is essential for effective representation.

Franzese was the Republican nominee for Florida’s 22nd Congressional District in 2024, winning a competitive three-way primary with 53 percent of the vote and mounting the strongest challenge ever against the long-time Democratic incumbent, Lois Frankel. He earned the 2024 endorsement of President Donald J. Trump, who praised Franzese as a leader who understands how to grow the economy, lower taxes, and eliminate government waste.

“With President Trump leading our nation, Florida needs strong partners in Congress who will help advance policies that deliver real results,” Franzese said. “I will work side by side with President Trump to keep America strong by defending our Constitution, promoting economic growth, and ensuring accountability to the people we serve.”

Franzese emphasized that his campaign will focus on Florida-first priorities, practical solutions, and restoring trust between voters and their elected representatives.

“This campaign is about results, not rhetoric,” Franzese added. “Floridians deserve a representative who understands their lives, respects their values, and knows how to get things done.”

John Jamason

Hamas-linked CAIR has been demanding that the county take action against Jamason. I wrote about whether or not what he said was true here. County officials didn’t say what they should have said, which is that noting a demonstrable fact about the Qur’an is not illegal in the United States, and even disliking Islam is not illegal in the United States, as we are not (yet) a Sharia state. Instead, they weaseled out a bit by simply noting that they couldn’t do anything since Jamason didn’t write the post while on the job, but in any case the good news is that he will not be disciplined and free speech survives (just barely) into another day.

I do hope WPTV will get around to correcting that typo in its headline, as entertaining as it is.

“John Jamason: Palm Beach County pubic [sic] information officer won’t be disciplined after Islam post,” from WPTV.com, September 18:

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – The administrator for Palm Beach County said there will be no disciplinary action taken against a county worker who posted hateful comments about Islam.County public information officer John Jamason sparked outrage last week on 9/11.

He posted on his personal Facebook page that “all Islam is radical … The Quran is a book that preaches hate”.

The county administrator said Jamason’s comments were personal and not made during work, so his statements did not violate rules.
