Frankel: Airport Naming Decisions Should Be Made Locally
West Palm Beach, FL, May 4, 2026
West Palm Beach, FL - Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement ahead of the Palm Beach County Commission's meeting to approve a trademark agreement with the Trump Organization in a step toward renaming Palm Beach International Airport.
"Airports named after presidents have traditionally been designated once they leave office and through decisions made by local communities and local authorities-not imposed from above," said Rep. Frankel.
"While the County has to comply with State law, what we are seeing is a clear overreach by the State Legislature that forced through this change without meaningful input from the people who actually live here, work here, and rely on Palm Beach International Airport every day.
Naming a major public asset should reflect community consensus and respect local voices. That is not happening here."
