Dane Eagle
US Congressional District 19 Candidate
Eagle was elected in 2012 to serve his hometown in the Florida House of Representatives and quickly distinguished himself as a highly effective legislator, passing laws to cut taxes, reduce regulations, curtail illegal immigration, protect the unborn, preserve our waterways, honor our veterans, and keep dangerous criminals off our streets.

Byron Donalds
US Congressional District 19 Candidate
Byron Donalds is a conservative leader who will bring the fight to the swamp creatures in Washington, DC. He’s everything the fake news media says doesn’t exist: a Trump supporting, liberty loving, pro-life, pro-2nd Amendment black man. That’s what we need to drain the swamp.

Dan Severson
US Congressional District 19 Candidate
I want to represent you in the United States Congress because I know what it takes to hold the line.

Join our grassroots movement today to restore conservative leadership to Southwest Florida.

Darren Aquino

Southwest Florida is in my DNA. I was born at North Naples Hospital, schooled at Seagate Elementary and Community School of Naples and home schooled for high school. I was even crowned Miss Naples and Miss South Florida Latina 2014. I taught Catechism classes at St. Ann’s Catholic Church. I completed my Bachelors of Art degree cum laude from FGCU and earned a Florida teaching certificate by age 20. I recently graduated from Ave Maria School of Law in Naples and sat for the Florida Bar. I know every corner of Florida’s 19th Congressional district.
