Ron DeSantis appointed a co-founder of Moms for Liberty, a “parental rights” group that has sought to take over school boards in multiple states, to the Florida Commission on Ethics on Wednesday.
Tina Descovich was named to the nine-member, Tallahassee-based commission, which investigates alleged breaches of public trust by elected and appointed officials, as well as state employees.
Moms for Liberty started with Descovich and two other Florida women fighting COVID-19 restrictions in 2021.
Along with Descovich, DeSantis also appointed South Florida attorney Luis Fuste to the commission.
Another vacancy on the ethics commission was created in June, when former member Jim Waldman's term ended.
