DeSantis Appoints State Sen. Ingoglia as Florida CFO

FLORIDA, JUL 16 – Ingoglia will complete the current term focusing on property tax relief and government spending oversight, amid a brewing GOP primary against Trump-endorsed Joe Gruters in 2026.

  • On Wednesday in Tampa, Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia as Florida’s CFO, filling a vacancy that lasted over six months after Jimmy Patronis left earlier this year.
