DeSantis names Moms for Liberty co-founder to Florida ethics panel; Politico, September 6, 2023

 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."
