FLORIDA, JUL 16 – DeSantis appoints conservative Blaise Ingoglia as CFO, filling a key vacancy and setting up a 2026 GOP primary clash with Trump-backed Joe Gruters, who leads in early polling.
- On Wednesday, Governor Ron DeSantis named Blaise Ingoglia, a state senator and longtime ally, to serve as Florida's chief financial officer, filling the position left vacant by Jimmy Patronis.
- Patronis resigned in March after winning a seat in the U.S. Congress, leading DeSantis to appoint a close ally amid tensions with Trump-backed candidates.
- Ingoglia, a 54-year-old Spring Hill Republican and former party chair, will assume oversight of state finances, insurance regulation, and fire marshal duties.
- President Trump endorsed state Sen. Joe Gruters for CFO, who launched a campaign with strategists LaCivita and Fabrizio branding Ingoglia a 'Never Trumper,' while DeSantis rejected Gruters.
- Ingoglia must run in the 2026 primary to retain the CFO position in a contest signaling broader GOP divisions and challenges in Florida's insurance market.
