The House Judiciary Chairman and Freedom Caucus co-founder backs the America First businessman ahead of the August 18 Republican primary.
WESTON, Fla., Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Carbonara for Congress today announced that Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio has endorsed Michael Carbonara for Congress in Florida's 22nd Congressional District.
Jordan is one of the most consequential conservatives in the United States Congress. He is the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, the co-founder and first chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, and a leading fighter for President Trump's America First agenda. His endorsement adds a national conservative voice to a coalition that now reaches every corner of the newly drawn district.
"Michael Carbonara built businesses, created jobs, and put his own money on the line for what he believes. He will fight for President Trump's agenda, defend the Constitution, and never back down. Washington does not need another career politician. It needs innovators who owe nothing to the special interests and everything to the people. Americans need lower prices, safe streets, and a border that means something. Michael Carbonara is America First and MAGA to his core. He is a fighter, a builder, and now, more than ever the families of Florida's 22nd District need a leader like Mike Carbonara in Congress." - Congressman Jim Jordan
"Jim Jordan has spent his career doing exactly what he did in the wrestling room: outworking everyone and refusing to quit," said Carbonara. "From the border to the weaponization of government, he has led the fights that matter with the Constitution in one hand and the truth in the other. Jim Jordan is the MAGA movement at its best, and he has President Trump's trust for a reason. It is an honor to have him in our corner, and when I get to Congress I will stand with him and President Trump in every one of those fights for the families of Florida's 22nd District."
Jordan joins a coalition that now spans all four counties of the new district, from the coasts to the farm communities. Carbonara's signed pledges and full coalition of endorsements are below.
