U.S. Representative Lois Frankel, who serves Florida’s 22nd district in Congress, addressed constituents through a series of social media posts between March 28 and March 30, 2026, touching on legislative absences, public demonstrations, and concerns about school safety.
On March 28, Frankel informed followers that she was unable to participate in a congressional vote due to personal circumstances. She wrote: “Due to a family emergency, I had to return to Palm Beach County earlier today and was unable to be present for tonight’s vote. Had I been there, I would have voted no.
For more than six weeks, hardworking Americans have gone without a paycheck while continuing to keep us safe.”
Two days later, on March 30, Frankel referenced her participation in local rallies and commented on the state of American democracy. She stated: “In America, power belongs to the people.
Proud to join all those marching at No Kings rallies across Palm Beach County over the weekend.
Americans want a President who works to make their lives better, not rewrites the rules so he can hold on to power.”
Later that same day, Frankel expressed concern regarding school environments with another post: “Our schools should be places of learning, not of masked men taking innocent children away.”
Frankel has represented Florida’s 22nd district since 2013 after succeeding Allen West. Before her tenure in Congress, she served in the Florida House of Representatives from 1986 until 2002. Born in New York City in 1948 and currently residing in West Palm Beach at age 74, Frankel holds degrees from Boston University (BA) and Georgetown University (JD).
