County Chairman Carl Casio for June Meeting

As Chairman, Carl provides the leadership needed to continue the success of the election operations/integrity, candidate recruitment and fundraising areas of the REC. He believes these areas will be key to the future success of the REC as it has been over this past year. Carl was born and raised a Floridian and importantly, a Republican. Carl’s family moved from Miami to Palm Beach County in 1988. After finishing law school, Carl moved back to Palm Beach County and soon thereafter became a member of the Republican Executive Committee in 1993 and in 1994 Carl ran for State Representative as the Republican nominee.

Carl has also helped several candidates in Local, State and Federal races and raised a family before re-joining the REC in 2019. Carl has been a critical part of the team that has led the preceding REC leadership which achieved its record setting fund raising, significant improvements in the 2024 municipal elections and success in this past General Election cycle. Despite significant change in REC leadership, our local party has made significant strides in some very important areas, but still much more needs to be done moving forward. In the past year, while acting as REC General Counsel, Carl effectively led the REC Board to ensure that the executive committee was running properly, according to the local rules, states rules and County Model Constitution.

Carl earned a B.S. in Business Management from Purdue University while also starting on the Men’s Tennis team, and earned a Law Degree from the University of Mississippi School of Law.
