Lauren Melo is a conservative Republican who fights to protect our second amendment rights, honor our veterans, cut bureaucratic red tape, and grow the economy. Born and raised in Southwest Florida, she is the proud mom of three and has been active in our community for years.
Lauren is a businesswoman who has flourished in a variety of fields. In 1991, she started her own trucking company which she grew from a single truck into a large fleet, at one point managing more than one hundred trucks. She still has her commercial driver’s license and to this day owns the original truck she used to start the company. Today, Lauren owns a real estate brokerage firm she steered to success even facing a personal health challenge, a year and a half battle with breast cancer, while never taking a break from her management role. During this difficult time, she also faced sending her son overseas to Afghanistan on his first combat deployment in the Army.
Today Lauren’s brokerage firm remains successful, her health is strong, and her son has returned safely home to the area now as a combat veteran.
Yvette Benarroch is an US Air Force veteran who served our nation during Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm. She is a mom, small business owner, and grassroots conservative leader. Yvette started the Collier County chapter of Moms for Liberty, fighting to keep Radical Left ideology out of our schools.
Yvette is the co-owner of Affordable Landscaping Service & Design, LLC, a full-service landscaping company serving the Naples and Marco Island Area. Additionally, Yvette is a licensed realtor. She understands the importance of having a strong economy, good jobs, low taxes, excellent schools, and a Florida that is affordable for all.
Yvette’s conservative values and the love and gratitude she has for the United States encouraged her to become more involved in politics. Yvette served as Neighborhood Team Leader in SW Florida for both Trump Victory and Latinos for Trump 2020
campaign. In 2022 she served as Neighborhood team leader for Governor DeSantis’s 2022 re-election campaign. She served as Vice Chairwoman for the Collier County GOP from 2020-2022, was Past State Vice Chairwoman for the Republican National Hispanic Assembly of Florida, and current 1st Vice President for the Florida Federation of Republican Women.
