DeSantis Appoints Local Leaders to Reedy Creek
Local News Staff 
After declaring "there's a new sheriff in town" on Monday in Lake Buena Vista, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced his selections for the new Reedy Creek Board: Martin Garcia, a prominent Republican Tampa attorney, as the chairperson of the board; Bridget Ziegler, a Sarasota school board member and an early founder of the conservative education group Moms for Liberty; Brian Aungst Jr., a Clearwater attorney and son of a former Clearwater mayor; Mike Sasso, a Central Florida attorney; and Ron Peri, founder of the ministry The Gathering and a former airline software company CEO.
The board includes a regionally diverse slate of DeSantis aligned Republican, including local attorney Michael Sasso who was previously appointed by the Gov. to the Public Employees Relations Commission and to the Fifth District Court of Appeal Judicial Nominating Commission.
While many on both sides of the aisle voice strong support and vehement opposition to the legislation, most first responders in the district endorsed the Governor's proposal.
