FLORIDA GOVERNOR-ELECT APPOINTMENT

Dec 7, 2018 | 5:05 AM

Florida Republican Governor-elect Ron DeSantis has selected a former House speaker to be education commissioner and a Democratic state representative to head the state’s Division of Emergency Management.  Former House Speaker Richard Corcoran backed Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam in the Republican primary for governor and harshly criticized DeSantis at the time. Corcoran would still need Board of Education approval before replacing Pam Stewart as education commissioner. State Rep. Jared Moskowitz is one of the most outspoken House Democrats in fighting Republican policy. Moskowitz also helped pass gun restrictions after the Parkland school shootings, a bill that DeSantis said he would have vetoed.
