August 10th, 2026

BONITA SPRINGS, FL — Catalina Lauf, conservative candidate for Congress in Florida’s 19th Congressional District, announced today the endorsements of Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL) and Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL), adding two prominent Florida conservatives to the growing coalition supporting her campaign, which includes Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Senator Jim Banks, MAHA Action, Associated Builders and Contractors Gulf Coast.

Steube and Cammack join a growing list of conservative, MAGA-Endorsed leaders backing Lauf in the crowded Republican primary, further demonstrating that proven fighters are rallying behind Lauf as the candidate they trust to defend President Trump’s America First agenda in Congress.

“Southwest Florida deserves a fighter who will implement President Trump’s agenda and Catalina Lauf is exactly that. She’s a proven America First conservative who will keep our borders closed, keep men out of women’s sports, and fight for a lower cost of living. I’m proud to endorse Catalina and know she’ll build on Byron Donalds’ legacy in Congress.” — U.S. Rep. Kat Cammack (FL 03)

“Catalina Lauf represents the next generation of principled, America First leadership we need in Washington. As a MAHA-endorsed candidate and a strong advocate for securing our border, Catalina understands that protecting the health, safety, and prosperity of American families must come first. I’m honored to endorse Catalina Lauf for Congress, and I look forward to serving alongside her as we fight for a stronger, safer, and healthier America.” -— U.S. Rep. Greg Steube (FL 17)

“I am incredibly honored to have the support of Congressman Greg Steube and

Congresswoman Kat Cammack — two proven conservative fighters who know firsthand what it takes to stand up to the Washington establishment,” said Lauf.

“The choice in this race is becoming clearer by the day. Southwest Florida does not need another career politician, establishment Republican, or politician who discovers conservative principles when it is time to run for office. We need fighters who will stand with President Trump, defend our freedoms, secure our border, protect the America First agenda, and refuse to bow to the Washington swamp.”

Lauf continued: “Greg and Kat have been in the arena fighting for Florida and our conservative values. Their support sends a powerful message: the fighters know a fighter. I’m proud to have the next generation of Conservative Leadership standing with me, and I look forward to fighting alongside them in Congress.”

The endorsements add to Lauf’s growing support from Trump-aligned conservative leaders, including Senator Jim Banks and Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna.

Lauf has emerged as a leading conservative voice in the FL-19 Republican primary,

campaigning on securing the southern border, protecting individual liberty, restoring fiscal responsibility, defending President Trump’s America First agenda, strengthening Southwest Florida’s infrastructure and water resources, and taking on the entrenched political establishment in Washington.

“This seat belongs to the people of Southwest Florida — not the political establishment, not the donor class, and not the swamp,” Lauf said. “They are throwing everything they have at us because they know we can win. We are not backing down. We are going to win this primary, keep FL-19 firmly in conservative hands, and give President Trump another fighter in Congress.”
