The Cuban born apostle and president of the largest Hispanic pro Israel organization in America backs the America First businessman ahead of the August 18 Republican primary.
WESTON, Fla., Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Carbonara for Congress today announced that Apostle Mario Bramnick of New Wine Ministries has endorsed Michael Carbonara for Congress in Florida’s 22nd Congressional District.
Bramnick is one of the most influential Hispanic faith leaders in the America First movement. He served on the National Hispanic Advisory Council for President Trump’s campaign, was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis to the Florida Faith and Community Advisory Council, and serves as president of the Latino Coalition for Israel, the largest Hispanic pro Israel organization in the country. Born in Cuba, he leads New Wine Ministries in Cooper City, inside the district, and has spent decades building the bridge between the Hispanic church, the Jewish community, and the pro Israel movement. His endorsement adds a major Hispanic faith voice to a coalition that now reaches every corner of the newly drawn district.
“I left Cuba because a government decided it could take a man’s freedom, his property, and his faith. I have spent my life making sure this country never forgets what socialism costs. Look at what the radical left has done. Open borders. Families who cannot afford groceries or insurance. Churches treated as the enemy and Israel treated as an afterthought. President Trump stood in the gap for people of faith when nobody else would, and Michael Carbonara will stand in that same gap. He will defend religious liberty, he will stand with Israel without apology, he will secure the border, and he will fight for the working families of South Florida. The Hispanic community did not come to this country for socialism. We ran from it. We are with President Trump, we are with the America First movement, and in Florida’s 22nd District we are with Michael Carbonara. He is America First and MAGA to his core, and he has my prayers and my full support.” – Apostle Mario Bramnick
“Apostle Bramnick has spent his life serving his congregation, standing up for the persecuted, and building the bridge between the Hispanic and Jewish communities of South Florida,” said Carbonara. “My wife’s family escaped the same regime his family escaped. In my house, freedom is not a slogan, it is the reason my children exist. To have a man of his faith and his standing in the MAGA movement with us is humbling, and I will defend religious liberty and our alliance with Israel every single day in Congress.”
Bramnick joins a coalition that now spans all four counties of the new district, from the coasts to the farm communities. Carbonara’s signed pledges and full coalition of endorsements are below.
