‘Tan Mom’ Patricia Krentcil supports drag queens in first campaign ad of Senate runBy Yaron Steinbuch
August 24, 2023
“Tan Mom” Patricia Krentcil has released a campaign ad for her Senate run in Florida — hoping to shed her shady moniker and laying out her qualifications as a drag queen-supporting “compassionate conservative.”
Krentcil, who went viral in 2012 for taking her 5-year-old daughter into a New Jersey tanning salon, now lives in Boca Raton, where she has filed paperwork to challenge GOP Sen. Rick Scott in the 2024 elections.
“Hi, I’m Patricia. I’m a single working mom with five beautiful kids. And I love my family just like you,” the blond 55-year-old says in the 2-minute spot.
“You might remember me being that ‘Tan Mom’ from New Jersey, but that was a decade ago,” she says, wearing pink lipstick, large glasses, a black dress and a beaded necklace.
“Crazy tans, table flippings … it was an interesting time, but like the world we live in, I’ve changed greatly. I lost my husband last year to cancer, and I know what it’s like to deal with insurance companies,” Krentcil continues.

“Most people don’t find Shakespeare and ‘Sesame Street’ offensive,” she says. “I also believe drag queens can be amazing role models for kids.”
