EXCLUSIVE — Republican congressional candidate Catalina Lauf spent four years writing about what she believes is broken in American politics.Now, she is asking voters to send her directly into the institution she argues needs to change.Lauf, a former Trump administration official and businesswoman, is making another bid for Congress, this time in Florida, while promoting her book, A Time to Choose, which lays out her vision for a new generation of conservative leadership and takes aim at what she calls Washington’s political “swamp.”
“I think number one, practically, is term limits,” Lauf told the Washington Examiner in an interview ahead of her primary. “When you have members of Congress up there for 30, 40 years that clearly are not representing their districts correctly,” she said, the system becomes disconnected from the people lawmakers were elected to represent.TRUMP TOUTS LARGE WAR CHEST FOR MIDTERM ELECTIONS WITH OVER $400 MILLION ON HANDBut Lauf’s definition of the “swamp” extends beyond Democrats or even career politicians. She argues in her book that entrenched institutions and established interests can become resistant to competition and new ideas, creating what she described as a “self-rewarding system.”
