FUELING ECONOMIC GROWTH

Scott Franklin is a businessman who believes we need to lower taxes, reduce wasteful spending and eliminate excessive regulations in order to create jobs and grow the economy. 

As a commissioner for the City of Lakeland, Scott has never voted for a tax increase and has fought to cut wasteful government spending. Scott will bring that same approach to Washington where taxes and spending are completely out of control. 

FIGHTING SOCIALISM

Scott Franklin is a capitalist who will stand up to socialists like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who threaten American democracy. Scott knows that the free market sparks innovation, economic growth and American prosperity. 

Scott will fight to preserve capitalism and your right to pursue the American Dream.

PROTECTING YOUR RIGHTS

STANDING UP FOR CHRISTIAN VALUES

He and his wife of nearly 30 years have three grown children. They know how precious life is.
 
Scott is pro-life and he will fight to defend life when he is in Congress.

STRENGTHENING National Defense

As a retired Naval Aviator who served for 26 years and in combat, Scott Franklin knows the risks we face every day from our enemies overseas. He will work in Congress to strengthen our national security and keep Americans safe. 

Scott served 14 years on active duty and 12 years in the Navy Reserves. As a Naval Aviator, Scott flew jets from the decks of 13 aircraft carriers. He was deployed to the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf and the North Atlantic. He participated in combat operations in the Gulf, Bosnia and Kosovo. And after 9/11, Scott was recalled to active duty with the U.S. Central Command.

ADVANCING A CONSERVATIVE AGENDA FOR AMERICAN PROSPERITY

As a lifelong conservative who defended our nation as a Naval Aviator, Scott Franklin ran for Congress to preserve conservative values and oppose the growing socialist agenda. His Democrat colleagues are pushing through a tax and spend agenda that our children and grandchildren will never be able to repay. Scott Franklin will continue to oppose policies that endanger our economic prosperity and the freedoms that he and so many others have fought to preserve. Scott will work to deliver common sense conservative solutions that lift up all Americans and uphold the principles that made our nation strong.

PROTECTING OUR AGRICULTURE

Agriculture is a vital component of Florida's 15 Congressional District. Our farmers, growers, and ranchers not only feed the nation and the world, they also provide thousands of jobs whose impact is essential to our local economy. When it comes to the environment, they are the state’s original stewards of our land. Florida’s farmers are working hard to reduce their impact on the environment and protect our water resources by using Best Management Practices and implementing the latest technologies.

We’re blessed to have a strong domestic food supply, particularly in times of crisis - but we can never take that for granted. When I’m elected to Congress, I’ll fight for our nation’s agriculture industry and provide the support our farmers, growers and ranchers need and deserve.
