Florida Congressional Candidate Secures Major Primary Victory with Economic and Security Platform

Boca Raton, Sunday, 2 August 2026.
Republican congressional candidate Joe Kaufman achieved a decisive victory in a Boca Raton straw poll for Florida’s 25th District, capturing nearly three times as many votes as his primary opponent, Scott Singer. Kaufman’s campaign gained momentum following his debate performance, where he emphasized economic stabilization for Florida’s large senior population alongside national security priorities. His economic platform features the ‘S.E.A. Plan,’ which targets housing affordability through proposed federal tax deductions on property insurance premiums and penalty-free retirement fund withdrawals for home purchases. This poll outcome highlights growing voter alignment with policies aimed at inflation relief, senior benefit protection, and local economic resilience as Florida’s 2026 midterm primaries intensify.
