Frank Russo Asks Florida Faith Communities to Prioritize People Over Profit
Independent candidate for Florida Governor Frank J. Russo is urging faith communities, particularly the Catholic Church, to refocus public discourse on human values rather than politics and profit. Raised in an Italian Catholic family with strong religious influences, Russo emphasizes his belief that caring for people should be central to governance. Russo highlights pressing issues affecting Floridians, including high foreclosure rates, expensive home insurance premiums averaging $8,400 annually, poor conditions for renters, and low teacher pay. He argues these are not just statistics but real-life struggles of families trying to make ends meet. His campaign philosophy centers on 'caring capitalism,' advocating responsible fiscal management while prioritizing people's needs. Russo is promoting the idea that government should operate with accountability and compassion—spending taxpayer money wisely, ensuring funds reach their intended purposes, and never losing sight of those they serve. With less than two months until the November 3 election, he hopes to unite Floridians across political lines through shared values.
