DeSantis appoints director of Office of Election Crimes and Security

Governor Ron DeSantis appointed Peter Antonacci, an attorney with a lengthy history of serving Republican administrations in Florida, to lead the newly-created Office of Election Crimes and Security.

Peter Antonacci has dedicated his career to serving the state of Florida," Governor Ron DeSantis said. "I am confident he will lead the Office of Election Crimes and Security with integrity and ensure that Florida's elections are the most secure in the nation."

DeSantis signed Senate Bill 524 into law earlier this year, creating the Office of Election Crimes and Security to oversee election administration.
