Former local congressional candidate Catalina Lauf has filed paperwork stating she is running for Congress in the southwestern Florida district currently represented by Bryon Donalds.
Donalds is running for Governor of Florida with President Donald Trump’s support.

When you guys get yours it will make me wonder.
Um, his name is Byron, not Bryon.
Not guilty!
The email is so suggestive I would think that one of her competitors for the nomination posted it. Safe seat. Even Madison Cawthorne is running. He’s the good looking wheelchair-bound fella who moved there from NC. He really blew it the first time. Since the district is safe should they give him another chance like Trump suggested?
Byron Donalds. His candidacy will put to the test once again whether or not state wide republicans can come together and elect a black. Too many instances of failure.
” His candidacy will put to the test once again whether or not state wide republicans can come together and elect a black. Too many instances of failure.”
Mark Robinson, the black GOP candidate for North Carolina governor in 2024, was a failure due to his own behavior prior to going into politics. He should have known the Democrats would uncover his social media posts from years prior. Those posts, not the GOP, sank his run for governor.
I remember when Barack Obama first ran for the US Senate. Sealed court records of his Republican candidate’s divorce became public. Billy Bush released tapes during the 2016 presidential campaign of he and Donald Trump’s lewd conversation about women.
In today’s world anonymous social media posts from years prior will be revealed. Leftists moderators, administrators, and IT people at the social media companies have access to all records of the company and no doubt immediately begin searching archived files as soon as a GOP candidate announces. The information will be leaked to the opposition candidate, a leftists NGO, or the media for surprise release at an opportune moment during the campaign, usually during the home stretch. The damage will be inflicted, the GOP candidate will go on the defensive and not be believed, or the GOP candidate will resign.
Any GOP candidate should assume the worst of any statements or behaviors in their lifetimes will be revealed. In addition there will be false accusations by former schoolmates, former friends, and even relatives not to mention AI created images that look real and are completely fake. If a candidate believes anything said or done in the past won’t be revealed, that candidate is a fool and does not deserve to be elected.
I was hoping we were beyond not electing someone because they're black.
I transcribe congressional hearings and this is my takeaway ... the ones most hostile to Byron Donalds are black women. When he calls out absent black fathers it's the Shaniquas that give him shit. But he's a fighter and he doesn't take it ... unlike the white men who are afraid to do the same.
How did Madison Cawthorne blow it? He mentioned there was corruption in DC, and talked about the surveillance sending honeypots to trap him, and he was targeted by the whole corrupt machine, and probably AIPAC too, for talking about their honeypots in public.
He struck me as a man of stellar morals.
Playing grab-ass with females doesn’t cut it. If he was ok he’d still be in congress as our ornament.
