Moms for Liberty cofounder fails to nab nomination for seat on state's Commission on Ethics; Florida Today, April 29, 2025

Finch Walker, Florida Today; Moms for Liberty cofounder fails to nab nomination for seat on state's Commission on Ethics

"For the second year in a row, the Florida Senate opted not to consider Moms for Liberty Co-founder Tina Descovich for the state's Commission on Ethics.

Tina Descovich, a former member of Brevard's school board, was appointed to the commission by Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2024, then again in February 2025 after the Senate chose not to confirm her. In 2024, she was allowed to remain in her post. Because this marks the second time the Senate declined to consider her as a nominee, she can't be reappointed, and she'll be required to leave her post."

 ANDREW ATTERBURY, Politico; DeSantis names Moms for Liberty co-founder to Florida ethics panel

"Gov. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday appointed Tina Descovich, a co-founder of the conservative parental rights group Moms for Liberty, to the Florida Commission on Ethics.

The move gives the Republican governor a staunch GOP ally on the panel responsible for weighing complaints against public officials in the state, which recently saw one remember resign after a conflict-of-interest violation. Aside from organizing the growing — and maligned — parental advocacy group, Descovich is a former school board member and runs a Florida political committee that helped some conservatives win local education elections in 2022."
