Conservative Podcaster Mark Kaye Announces Candidacy for U.S. Congress in Florida's 5th Congressional District

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Conservative podcaster, entrepreneur, and digital media firebrand Mark Kaye officially announced his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives, launching a bold grassroots campaign to oust incumbent Republican Congressman John Rutherford in Florida's 5th Congressional District.

Kaye, known for his popular daily podcasts Mark Kaye Saves the Republic and The 47 Daily, has built a reputation for cutting through political nonsense with humor, truth, and fearless commentary.

"I've been shouting into microphones and TV cameras about these lazy politicians for years, but nothing's changed," said Kaye. "So I will go to Washington and shout at them from the House floor!"

Mark Kaye will be challenging incumbent Republican John Rutherford in the 2026 GOP primary. Rutherford has come under fire from conservative voters for supporting Democrat-backed legislation, including funding for Ukraine, the weaponized IRS, and taxpayer-funded gender surgeries.

Kaye warns that Democrats could very easily win the House of Representatives in the midterm elections and sideline President Trump's "America First" agenda.

"If that happens," says Kaye, "We're going to need a loud, combative conservative to fight, fight, fight every single day. John Rutherford is not that guy. I am."

A fierce advocate for free speech and small business, Kaye has also pledged to stand up for Conservative voices being silenced online and to push back against Big Tech censorship.

His campaign will lean heavily on grassroots energy, digital outreach, and the loyal support of thousands of his listeners called "Kayetriots" across Florida and beyond. Kaye's online announcement video is already going viral and donations are pouring in from around the country.
