Walton Republican Women Federated is excited to welcome Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, Jimmy Patronis, to their January 11 luncheon in Miramar Beach.
Florida’s CFO handles the state’s financial accounts and oversees the office of insurance regulation. The office audits spending at state agencies and deals with public assistance fraud, workers’ compensation, and unclaimed property. As the State Fire Marshal, the CFO also coordinates arson investigations.
Mr. Patronis has been applauded for increasing Florida’s fiscal transparency, reforming benefits for firefighters diagnosed with cancer, and improving mental health benefits for Florida’s first responders.
Jimmy Patronis sits on Governor DeSantis’ cabinet along with Attorney General Ashley Moody, and was supportive of Governor DeSantis’ efforts to reopen the state amid the COVID pandemic and fought to stop lawsuits against businesses that reopened during the pandemic. The cabinet also deals with issues like state land development and permitting.
Jimmy Patronis served as a member of the Florida Elections Commission before serving for eight years as a Florida Representative. He also served on Florida’s Public Service Commission, which oversees utility companies and utility rates, before being elected as CFO in 2018.
Jimmy Patronis has recently released a proposed bill, Creating Penalties for Political Discrimination by IRS Agents, personally stating. “If you’re trying to shakedown Florida businesses, non-profits, or families, then the State of Florida will also have tools to go after you, too.”
