Position on major issues
Deborah Adeimy is a West Palm Beach native and finance professional with a BSBA in Finance, securities credentials, and decades of experience in financial services and insurance. One of the first women at her workplace to earn a Series 7 license, she is also active in numerous Palm Beach County civic, charitable, cultural, and political organizations. A mother of three, Adeimy emphasizes her local roots, faith, community service, and dissatisfaction with Representative Lois Frankel.
Frankel's lengthy career in public service began as a public defender before she was elected to the Florida House of Representatives, serving from 1986 to 1992 and 1994 to 2002, during which she became the first woman to serve as the chamber's Minority Leader. She later served as the Mayor of West Palm Beach from 2003 to 2011. First elected to Congress in 2012, she represented Florida's 21st and 22nd districts before transitioning to the redrawn 23rd district following statewide redistricting. She sits on the powerful House Committee on Appropriations and is seeking an eighth term in the general election on November 3, 2026.
