Franky Franco: Christian Business Leader and First-Generation
Cuban-American Announces Campaign for Congress in SC-3
SIMPSONVILLE - Conservative Christian business leader, and Simpsonville resident, Franky Franco today announced his campaign for the Republican nomination for Congress in South Carolina's third congressional district.
A living testament to the American Dream, Franky’s mother was a Cuban exile who came to America fleeing Fidel Castro’s communist regime. His father legally immigrated to the United States from Ecuador, seeking economic stability and prosperity but instead found something far more valuable - becoming a born-again Christian and serving his community as a Baptist minister for over 30 years.
“As a first-generation Cuban American of legal immigrants, I fully understand the threats posed by dictators abroad, which means we have to secure our border here at home to stop this illegal invasion,” Franco said. “Our country's safety and prosperity are threatened until we get the massive influx of illegal immigrants under control, and that will be a top priority of mine in Congress.
“With decades of experience in the boardroom I also have a unique experience to understand the threat we face from China on trade, technology, and theft. I’ve seen first-hand the power Big Tech companies wield over our everyday lives and the dangers they pose to regular Americans. In Congress, I will pledge to use that experience to rein in “woke” corporations who seek to control what we read, what we search, how we worship, and even what we buy and where we bank,” Franco said.
After business school, Franky began his more than 16-year career as a leader in one of the largest telecommunications firms in America. During this tenure, he led operations to deliver solutions for more than 100M consumers and over 10M small businesses in the United States. He has worked on multi-billion-dollar deals with some of the world's largest companies.
