Three Arrested in Alleged Scheme to Throw Race to Brodeur
Local News Staff 
Seminole County Republican Party Chair Ben Paris, political consultant Eric Foglesong and former independent candidate Jestine Iannotti have been charged in a multi-count indictment alleging election fraud in the 2020 election in Senate District 9, currently occupied by state Sen. Jason Brodeur.
“Elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and we must do everything we can to ensure they are fair and transparent,” FDLE Acting Commissioner Mark Glass said in the statement. “Protecting the integrity of our elections is a top priority in Florida, and that includes making sure candidates follow the laws.”
It is not immediately clear the nature of Brodeur's involvement or if he will face public scrutiny on the issue himself. This is a developing story.
