Attorney Carl Cascio was recently elected on the first ballot as chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County by a vote of the county precinct men and women, at their bi-annual meeting in West Palm Beach. He succeeds outgoing chairman Kevin Neal, who decided not to seek a second term. Cascio has served as general counsel for the party since June 2023, and successfully guided its board and leadership team through a number of challenges.
Cascio has served as a committeeman since 2019 and was the Republican candidate for Florida state representative in District 88 in 1994.
“I am deeply honored and humbled to be elected the next chairman of the Republican Party of Palm Beach County,” he said. “With the election of President Trump as our 47th president, Palm Beach County is certainly the political center of the State of Florida, and the eyes of the world will be focused on our county over the next four years.”
Cascio is a sole practitioner and the founder of his own law firm, specializing in real estate and probate litigation. He is a graduate of the Mississippi School of Law and received a bachelor’s degree in business management from Purdue University, where he was a four-year starter on the men’s varsity tennis team.
He was born and raised a Floridian and a Republican. His family moved from Miami to Palm Beach County in 1988, where he resides with his wife Dianne. They have four grown children.
Cascio was endorsed by Ocean Ridge Mayor Jeffrey Pugh and former County Commissioner Ron Howard.
Also elected as the new vice chairman was former U.S. Marine Corps infantryman and law enforcement officer Jason Kulp, and Katina Maxwell as the new secretary. Treasurer Jane Pike was elected for a sixth two-year term. For more information, visit www.palmbeach.gop.
