My Story
My name is John Frankman.
I was a Captain in the United States Army serving as a Special Forces Green Beret. In summer of 2023 I was forced out of the Army due to struggles I encountered for refusing to get the mandatory COVID-19 vaccine. Since leaving the Army, I decided to share my story and speak out on behalf of others negatively impacted by the mandate. Now I’m running for Congress so I can fight to Defend God and Country and work for America’s Spiritual and Political Renewal.

The importance of my faith
First and foremost, I am a Christian. I converted to the faith at age 15, and after graduating from Wheaton College, I entered a Catholic seminary. I spent four years studying for the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., and the Military Archdiocese before discerning that God had other plans for me. Since leaving the seminary, my faith and relationship with Jesus have continued to be the most central part of my life. I recently completed my M.A. in Systematic Theology.
John was a Special Forces Green Beret Captain at 7th Special Forces Group.
Serving my country
John was a Captain in the Army who served as a Green Beret assigned to 7th Special Forces Group. On July 1st, 2023, he was forced out of the Army due to difficulties with the COVID 19 vaccine mandate. Before going on active duty, he spent four years in the Catholic seminary studying to be a priest with the intent of being a chaplain before discerning that God had different plans for him. He entered active duty as an Infantry Officer and completed the Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course, Airborne School, and Ranger School. After serving as an Infantry Officer, he was selected to attend the Special Forces Qualification Course where he also completed SERE school (Survival Evasion Resistance and Escape) and completed the Military Free Fall Course. Of all of his military accomplishments, he considers refusing the immoral and illegal COVID vax his proudest moment.
John is now running for Congress to Defend God and Country and to work for the Spiritual and Political Renewal of the United States.

My fight for justice
I didn’t get involved in politics but politics got involved in me when I was a Special Forces Green Beret Captain faced with the experimental and unlawful COVID 19 vaccine mandate. My original goal was to hold those responsible for the illegal, unethical, and medical unsafe COVID-19 vaccine mandates accountable so this never happens to our country again.
I am now running for Congress to fight for Faith, Freedom, and Florida First. As your next Congressman I will Defend God and Country and will work for the Spiritual and Political Renewal of America.
