Daytona Beach, FL — July 7, 2025
Kerry B. Lewis, a former congressional candidate and conservative media figure, is stirring speculation about a potential run for Florida Governor in 2026. While Lewis has not yet filed official paperwork with the Florida Division of Elections, recent activity on his Facebook page suggests an announcement may be imminent.
Lewis, who previously ran for Congress in California’s 28th District before relocating to Florida, has been posting cryptic messages and campaign-style imagery hinting at a statewide bid. His page, which now features Florida-themed content and references to “leadership for a new era,” has drawn attention from political observers tracking the crowded gubernatorial field.
If Lewis enters the race, he would join a growing list of contenders vying to succeed term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis. The Republican field is already led by U.S. Representative Byron Donalds, whose campaign has gained traction with high-profile endorsements and robust fundraising. Lewis’s entry could shake up the dynamics, especially if he positions himself as a grassroots outsider.
Despite the buzz, Lewis has not made any formal declarations or submitted candidacy paperwork. His team has remained tight-lipped, and no official campaign website for a gubernatorial run has been launched. However, his previous campaign materials and Ballotpedia profile indicate a platform rooted in conservative values and media engagement.
Political analysts say Lewis’s social media strategy may be a way to gauge public interest before committing to a full campaign. With the filing deadline still months away, Florida voters will be watching closely to see whether Lewis makes the leap from online hints to official candidacy.
