TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Ethics complaints filed against two of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ former executive staff members, which were filed by Florida Democratic Party Chairwoman Nikki Fried, have been dismissed.
The Florida Commission on Ethics dismissed Fried’s complaints against former Chief of Staff James Uthmeier and former Legislative Affairs Director Stephanie Kopelousos.
Uthmeier has since become DeSantis’ campaign manager. Kopelousos also joined DeSantis’ campaign.
Fried filed three ethics complaints against DeSantis’s executive staff with both the Florida Commission on Ethics and the Elections Commission in June.
