Jan 16, 2025, 04:21 PM
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced that his Chief of Staff, James Uthmeier, will be appointed as the next Attorney General of Florida. This decision follows the impending departure of current Attorney General Ashley Moody, who is set to assume a position in the U.S. Senate. DeSantis expressed confidence in Uthmeier's capabilities, stating, "He'll do a good job. You can anticipate that." Uthmeier, who has served as DeSantis's Chief of Staff and was involved in his 2024 presidential campaign, is viewed as a strong candidate to uphold the rule of law in Florida. The official announcement was made on January 16, 2025, with Uthmeier's appointment expected to take effect once Moody's Senate position is confirmed.
