Foster, who led active-duty operations overseas before transitioning to the private sector, cited Carbonara’s reliability as the primary driver for his support. He emphasized that the candidate possesses the necessary conviction to address deficiencies in veteran healthcare and benefits, arguing that the district requires a legislator who prioritizes action over rhetoric. Carbonara, a South Florida entrepreneur with a background in technology and finance, welcomed the endorsement as a commitment to honoring the promises made to those who have served.

The campaign has steadily consolidated support from a diverse group of regional leaders, including Fort Lauderdale Commissioner John C. Herbst and Coconut Creek Vice Mayor John Brodie. Beyond military circles, Carbonara’s platform—centered on economic affordability and constitutional rights—has attracted backing from local figures such as Weston Mayor Peggy Brown and Collier County business owner Alfie Oakes. As the race in the 22nd District intensifies, Carbonara continues to frame his candidacy around his private-sector experience and a promise to overhaul government accountability for the veteran community.
