Corporate shareholders and executives of the merging entities are the immediate beneficiaries. However, the presence of foreign ownership raises the ethical concern of foreign influence permeating an American cultural institution. This is especially concerning when considering that the gains for shareholders could come at the loss of American control over an important cultural activity.

Tony is committed to opposing the merger. He views it as a cultural and economic issue that has long-term implications for American ownership and control over its sports institutions. His career demonstrates a focus on local governance and cultural preservation, making him a strong voice against the PGA/LIV merger.

The PGA/LIV merger could have far-reaching implications for the state of Florida, which has a robust golfing community and economy. A foreign entity taking control could alter the cultural fabric of a sport deeply embedded in Florida’s society. Furthermore, such a merger could lead to job relocations, ticket price fluctuations, and an alteration of local golfing traditions.

Immediate action is crucial. Tony Zielinski emphasizes that timely intervention is necessary to prevent irreversible effects on the American cultural landscape and the state of Florida in particular. Policy recommendations and awareness-raising initiatives are already underway to halt or amend the merger and he needs your help.

Donations will be used to back Tony Zielinski and other state and local candidates who align with our views, helping to keep these crucial issues at the forefront of state and local elections.

Over the past few years, Saudi Arabian investments in American sports and entertainment have increased significantly. This financial influence raises ethical questions surrounding human rights and poses potential threats to the autonomy of American sports institutions.

Local governance is the first line of defense against outside influences that threaten American values. By focusing on state-level initiatives and backing candidates like Tony Zielinski, who prioritize local issues and governance, Prosperity for America believes it can counteract global threats on a grassroots level.

Florida’s economic and cultural significance makes it a critical battleground for these issues. Positive change here could set a precedent for other states and the federal government.

China’s expanding influence will also have a detrimental impact on Florida’s job market and economic stability. From manufacturing to tech sectors, Chinese competition poses a threat to local industries. It is especially concerning in the technology sector, where Chinese companies backed by enormous government support are leading in areas such as 5G and artificial intelligence.

Florida’s diverse economy—encompassing everything from agriculture to high-tech manufacturing—is susceptible to disruptions from Chinese trade practices. Trade imbalances, intellectual property theft, and unfair subsidies can harm local businesses and employment rates.

Small businesses, manufacturing units, and the tech industry are the most vulnerable. These sectors face the most direct competition from Chinese enterprises, risking not just revenue but also innovation and long-term growth prospects.
