ICYMI: NEWSWEEK ARTICLE FEATURES ANDREW GUTMANN; TALKS ABOUT DECLINE IN DEMOCRAT VOTERS IN CD 22
In the national news outlet’s article, Gutmann discusses how data indicating District 22 is no longer the blue-leaning district it once was makes room for a Republican who can resonate with independent voters.
On Monday, Newsweek published an op-ed on the upcoming election cycle that takes a closer look at Democratic vulnerabilities in 2024’s congressional races. Authored by Palm Beach Freedom Institute President Paul du Quenoy, the article stresses that the GOP should not miss the opportunity to make red-state gains in November.
The piece highlights Andrew Gutmann’s race in Congressional District 22 and shares the national education activist’s insight into the voter turnover happening in his South Florida district.
Excerpts from the Newsweek article are below:
Andrew Gutmann, a leading candidate for the Republican nomination in FL-22 and a nationally known champion of school reform, recently told me “We’re witnessing a dramatic realignment of voter registrations in Palm Beach County over the past three years, with rapidly declining Democrat registrations and rising Republican and independent registrations. District 22 is no longer a safe Democratic district and is now highly competitive, with a Republican candidate like myself who can appeal to independent voters.”
Notably, in 2022, DeSantis won surrounding Palm Beach County—a blue bastion where Biden won 56 percent of the vote in 2020—and lost among FL-22 voters by only three points. A Republican challenger resting on a solid GOP turnout could unseat Frankel in 2024. “I think the data means we’re going to win, added Gutmann.”

Gutmann has emerged as the top-tier Republican candidate in the FL-22 race and is showing himself more than capable of defeating progressive Democrat Lois Frankel in November 2024.
