Seidel, a New York-trained attorney who has spent the last year organizing for the America First movement in Broward County, cited Carbonara’s stance on environmental protection and economic relief for seniors as primary drivers for his support. He specifically highlighted Carbonara’s opposition to antisemitism and his focus on neighborhood safety as distinguishing factors in the campaign.

Carbonara, an entrepreneur with a background in technology and finance, welcomed the move as a critical validation of his platform. The endorsement adds Seidel to a widening coalition of local officials and conservative groups, including local commissioners from Weston, Pompano Beach, and Fort Lauderdale, alongside support from figures like Catalina Stubbe of Moms for Liberty. This backing arrives as Carbonara positions himself as a champion for affordability and constitutional freedoms in the South Florida district.
