Moms for Liberty co-founder appointed by DeSantis to Florida ethics commission

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced he will appoint one of the co-founders of the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty to the Florida Commission on Ethics.

DeSantis said he will be appointing Tina Descovich and attorney Luis Fuste to the commission on Wednesday, weeks after the chairman of the commission resigned to maintain his post as the administrator of the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which encompasses the Walt Disney World Resort.

Descovich called the appointment by the governor "a privilege" in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Wednesday.

"The Florida Ethics Commission is charged with serving as the guardian of the standards of conduct for public officers and employees as well as safeguarding public trust. It will be a privilege to serve the state I love as a member of this commission," Descovich said.
