Congressman Scott Franklin is a firm believer in free enterprise and the American Dream and he is not afraid to stand up to the far left policies that threaten both.
In Congress, Scott is pushing back against reckless spending that has driven our national debt past $38 trillion and fueled inflation that is hitting Florida families at the grocery store, the gas pump, and everywhere in between. He opposes efforts to raise taxes on families and small businesses, expand federal control over healthcare, and impose heavy handed regulations that crush American industry.
Scott is also working with President Trump to reverse these policies and get our economy back on track. He supported the Working Families Tax Cut, also known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, which delivers real relief to seniors and working Americans, including expanded tax deductions and policies that help families keep more of what they earn.
He believes government should empower opportunity, not dependency. That means lower taxes, less regulation, secure supply chains, and a strong, competitive private sector.
Scott Franklin will continue to stand firm against big government expansion and fight for policies that protect economic freedom, reward hard work, and keep the American Dream alive for the next generation.

Agriculture is a cornerstone of Florida’s 18th Congressional District and a driving force behind our local economy. The farmers, growers, and ranchers across our region feed our nation and the world, while supporting thousands of jobs and sustaining rural communities throughout Florida’s Heartland.
They are also among the best stewards of our land and water. Florida producers continue to lead the way by implementing Best Management Practices and investing in new technologies to protect our natural resources while maintaining productivity.
But Florida agriculture faces real and growing challenges. Recent freezes and severe weather have devastated citrus and other specialty crops, placing enormous strain on producers who are already operating on thin margins. These events are not just setbacks, they are existential threats to family operations and the long term future of our domestic food supply.
A strong domestic food supply is critical to our national security and economic stability, especially in times of uncertainty. That is why in Congress, I am working to ensure our agriculture industry remains strong, resilient, and globally competitive.
As Vice Chair of the Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, I am focused on delivering real support for our producers. That includes advancing disaster assistance through block grants to ensure resources reach Florida farmers quickly and efficiently, supporting citrus recovery efforts, investing in research and disease mitigation, and pushing for policies that reduce unnecessary regulatory burdens.
I will continue fighting to ensure our farmers, growers, and ranchers have the tools they need to recover, rebuild, and succeed, and to keep Florida agriculture thriving for generations to come.
