Florida's new CFO is used to handling money, both as a successful businessman and an internationally ranked poker player.

After months with no one in the post, Gov. Ron DeSantis has named state Sen. Blaise Ingoglia to be Florida's new Chief Financial Officer.

Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis has chosen a conservative legislative ally as Florida chief financial officer, a statewide elected position vacated when Jimmy Patronis ran successfully for Congress in a special election this year.
