Join us for breakfast August 7th at 7:30 am to hear from the Republican Congressional Candidates from District 22 and from Republican State Representative candidates from District 82.

Expect a lively question and answer period.

Republican Candidates for Congressional District 22 (see below for State Reps)

Confirmed Attendees include: Casey Askar, David Burck, Terri Hasdorff, and Michael Thompson. Belinda Keiser and Rich Evans will not be attending, and no response has been given from Michael Carbonara.

Florida’s 22nd Congressional District was substantially redrawn under the state’s new congressional map, signed into law in May 2026, and this cycle’s race has no incumbent. Seven Republicans and two Democrats qualified for the Aug. 18, 2026, primary ballot. Both parties will hold closed partisan primaries, meaning they are open only to registered voters of the respective party. The Republican and Democratic nominees, along with two additional candidates who qualified outside the party primaries, will face off in the November general election.

Republican Candidates for State Representative District 82

Both Candidates will be in attendance.

Bill Poteet and Liesa Priddy are seeking the open seat for Florida House District 82 in the Aug. 18, 2026, Republican primary. Only registered Republicans may vote. The seat opened when incumbent Rep. Lauren Melo chose to run for an open Florida Senate seat rather than seek re-election. The winner will face Democrat Arthur Boyer of Immokalee in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election.

District 82 covers Collier County, East for Livingston Road, and Hendry counties.
