Former one-term North Carolina Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn officially announced his candidacy for Florida’s 19th congressional district on Wednesday.
In his announcement video, Cawthorn, 30, asserted that Florida is “the heart of the movement.” He added that he is running for Congress “to stand with President Trump.”
“This community is my home,” Cawthorn said in his announcement video. “I know what it means to be underestimated, and I know what it takes to fight back. That same spirit is what I’ll carry to Washington.”
Cawthorn also vowed to “defend the America First agenda, hold bureaucrats accountable, and put Floridians first,” according to a statement on his campaign website.
“Southwest Florida is the heart of the MAGA movement. When Hurricane Ian devastated Cape Coral, I stood shoulder to shoulder with my neighbors helping families, delivering supplies, and rebuilding together,” Cawthorn said in a statement to the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is my home, and I know what it takes to fight back. That same spirit is what I’ll take to Washington. I know what it takes to win tough fights. I will never back down from defending Florida, our families, and our future.”
