Members phkrause Posted August 11 Author Members Posted August 11 ☀️ Florida's wildest primary Illustration: Allie Carl / Axios A pair of Florida lawmakers are wading into the crowded GOP primary in Florida's 19th Congressional District, endorsing Catalina Lauf in a seat President Trump won by 24 percentage points. 🚨 Why it matters: It's a conventional play in a crazy primary full of carpetbaggers. But in a 10-way race in which a candidate could win with less than 20% of the vote, even a small edge could translate into a member's pin next January. Five candidates have previously run for Congress in other states. Two have served in Congress. One, former Rep. Chris Collins, pleaded guilty to a felony and was pardoned by Trump. 🐘 The winner will be heavily favored to succeed Rep. Byron Donalds, who is running for governor. 🚗 Driving the news: Reps. Greg Steube (R-Fla.), who represents a neighboring district, and Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), whose district is farther north, are backing Lauf, who served in Trump's Commerce Department during his first term. They join Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) in backing Lauf. Lauf also has the support of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul's super PAC, which has produced AI ads in support of her. "I am incredibly honored to have the support of Congressman Greg Steube and Congresswoman Kat Cammack — two proven conservative fighters who know firsthand what it takes to stand up to the Washington establishment," Lauf said in a statement. 🌎 Zoom out: The race has become a coliseum for former members of Congress and perennial candidates. The Southwest Florida district, centered in Fort Myers area, is home to many Midwestern transplants. Collins of New York and former Rep. Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina are both mounting comeback bids. Lauf has run for Congress twice in Illinois. In 2020, she lost the GOP primary in Illinois' 14th District to Jim Oberweis — who is now running against her again in Florida. Lauf later won the GOP nomination in Illinois' 11th District in 2022 but lost the general election. Ola Hawatmeh previously ran unsuccessfully for Congress in New York. 💰 The intrigue: The conservative Club for Growth has pumped $1.1 million into the race to defeat Collins. The group doesn't appear to care who wins — as long as it's "Anybody but Chris." Zoom in: Jim Schwartzel, a local businessman, and Lauf were essentially tied atop a recent poll, with both in the high teens. Collins was in fourth place at 8%. The Victory Insights poll surveyed 1,200 likely Republican primary voters across six congressional districts Aug. 4–6 using a combination of text-to-web and interactive voice response. It was not commissioned by a candidate or committee. A separate internal poll for Lauf's campaign has her marginally in first place ahead of Schwartzel, with over a third of voters still undecided. — Hans Nichols and Marc Caputo Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.
