Franklin recognized the COVID-19 threat but indicated government action should seriously consider how it affects businesses and jobs, saying, "...[At] the same time it’s a matter of protecting lives and livelihoods because if we destroy people’s livelihoods, that has an impact on overall health as well.” He voted against a mask mandate in Lakeland when he was a councilman and said it was a personal responsibility.

Franklin is pro-life.
Franklin is a pro-market health care reformer who has experience working in employer benefits. He has stated, "I've worked in that a lot with employee benefits, and I know how hard it is, both as a business owner and as someone trying to help businesses get insurance for their employees, the challenges that we face. But I just don't think a government takeover of the program is the way we need to go. I think we need more free-market solutions.” He supports small business insurance pools.
