Last reviewed September 15, 2026Catalina is the bold, battle-tested conservative Southwest Florida needs in Congress. A successful business owner and former Trump Administration appointee, she brings private sector experience, proven leadership, and the fight to stand with President Trump against the radical left. She and her husband chose Florida for its faith, freedom, and fighting spirit, putting down deep roots in Bonita Springs. Catalina isn’t a career politician chasing titles. She is a servant leader committed to defending the values that make Southwest Florida home. With 62% of millennials viewing socialism favorably, it’s time we focus on the future. The radical left is organized, well-funded, and aggressive. Southwest Florida needs a lion in Congress that is a strong, unapologetic America First fighter. Catalina Lauf is running for our children and grandchildren: to secure our borders, defend our freedoms, crush woke indoctrination, and keep Southwest Florida strong, prosperous, and free.

She is running to bring a new generation of servant leadership to Congress — leaders in the spirit of Congressman Byron Donalds who stand up fearlessly for our values. Unlike career politicians and recycled candidates, Catalina’s campaign is built on service, not self-interest.
