Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has made a bold move in his push for conservative fiscal reform.
DeSabtis is appointing state Senator Blaise Ingoglia as the state’s new Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
The announcement, made on Wednesday, underscores DeSantis’ commitment to ensuring Florida remains a stronghold of conservative values in an increasingly volatile political climate.
Describing Ingoglia as “the most conservative senator in the state of Florida,” DeSantis emphasized the importance of fiscal responsibility and cutting wasteful spending.
The governor said the move aligns with his broader agenda to limit government intervention and reduce taxes for Floridians
Cementing his focus on tax cuts as a key priority during his tenure, Ingoglia declared:
“I am going to work hand and glove, side by side, with this governor to make sure that we get rid of property taxes on homestead exemption and offer real property tax relief to Floridians.”
This appointment follows the successful bid of former CFO Jimmy Patronis.
Patronis recently vacated the position after winning Florida’s 1st Congressional District seat.
The seat was previously held by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL).
Ingoglia, known for his staunch conservative stances and track record in the state legislature, expressed his dedication to serving Floridians by tackling property tax relief.
“I’m honored to be appointed by @GovRonDeSantis as Florida’s next Chief Financial Officer,” Ingoglia wrote on X.
“Over the next year and a half, my number one priority is meaningful property tax relief.”
But his agenda doesn’t stop there.
Ingoglia made it clear that he would take an aggressive stance against government waste and corporate fraud, vowing to be “an unrelenting, proactive fiscal watchdog for our state.”
He promised to expose waste, fraud, and abuse in state spending, adding, “If insurance companies don’t live up to their contractual obligations, Floridians will know because I will call them out.”
Ingoglia also reiterated his commitment to lowering insurance rates and holding bad actors accountable, saying:
“We will shine a light on bad actors, stop fraud, and bring down rates.
“Floridians deserve accountability. I’m here to deliver it.”
He underscored his belief that Florida must remain a beacon of freedom and opportunity in the U.S., adding:
“We will NOT let Florida become New York or California.
“Florida is the most amazing place to live. Let’s keep her free, strong, and thriving.”
As Florida continues to position itself as a conservative stronghold, Ingoglia’s appointment signals DeSantis’s determination to maintain the state’s status as a low-tax, business-friendly environment.
The governor and his new CFO are sending a clear message that Florida will not bow to the left-wing agendas that have weakened other states, especially those in the Northeast and West Coast.
