Lois Frankel, a member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 22nd district since 2013, has recently shared her views on various political and religious developments through social media. Born in New York City in 1948, Frankel has had a long career in public service, including time in the Florida House of Representatives from 1986 to 2002.
On May 8, 2025, Rep. Lois Frankel questioned the priorities of Congress with a tweet stating: “Was this really the best use of Congress’s time this week? Who remembers when Republicans said they were focused on lowering costs?” This comment reflects her concern over legislative focus amidst ongoing economic discussions.
Later that day, Frankel expressed criticism regarding a recent decision by President Trump. She tweeted: “President Trump just fired the head of FEMA–the agency that prepares for and responds to natural disasters–three weeks before hurricane season. Trump is putting all of our safety at risk for his own political gain.” The timing and implications of this decision have raised concerns about national preparedness for upcoming natural disasters.
In another tweet on May 8, Frankel celebrated a significant event within the Catholic Church: “I join millions around the world in welcoming the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first American-born leader of the Catholic Church. Wishing him strength, wisdom, and compassion as he begins his papacy.” Her message highlights her support for Pope Leo XIV as he embarks on his new role.
Lois Frankel continues to be an active voice in both domestic politics and international matters from her position in West Palm Beach.
