DeSantis Names Ingoglia CFO; Tough Talk, Mixed Voting Record on Property Insurance
The Florida Department of Financial Services, without a department head since April – after Jimmy Patronis was elected to Congress – has a new chief financial officer in the form of Blaise Ingoglia, a millionaire home builder and recent state legislator.
Gov. Ron DeSantis announced the appointment Wednesday. Ingoglia is expected to face opposition next spring in the election to the post. State Sen. Joe Gruters, R-Sarasota, has already been endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump, according to news reports.
