His law firm, Pinehill Capital Partners, donated $50,000 to the "Friends of Ron DeSantis" political committee last year. Other appointees include Ron Peri of Orlando, a former pastor and founder of The Gathering, a forum for Christian "discipleship and outreach to men," Michael Sasso, a Winter Park attorney and DeSantis campaign donor, and Brian Aungst Jr., a Pinellas County Republican attorney who DeSantis previously appointed to the 6th circuit judicial nominating commission. , blasted DeSantis' appointees as "hostile conservative cronies" in a scathing statement on the new law.
"It’s absolutely wild to see a self-proclaimed capitalist like DeSantis celebrate the government takeover of a private board which is exactly what the Governor just did today," Eskamani said.
