From: Extensive Media Enterprises Good Wednesday morning. Today is a day to honor and thank the millions of military veterans who have dedicated themselves to preserving and furthering this great nation. Several blurbs and links highlighting Florida's focus on veterans are sprinkled throughout today's edition. To those who served, a grateful nation says thank you. ___ Here is my latest epilogue piece — "Winners and losers emerging from the St. Petersburg Mayoral race and other Tampa Bay elections." It's 8,500 words of score-boarding and score-settling. Please consider reading. ___ Elevance Health has named Mike Jones president of its Medicaid and Medicare operations in Florida, putting the veteran healthcare executive at the helm of Simply Healthcare Plans and four others serving the state. “My priority is to work with our Florida teams to build on what is working and find practical ways to improve care and service for our members,” Jones said. “That means listening to members and providers, responding to their needs and making decisions that deliver meaningful improvements in quality, access and the healthcare experience.” Mike Jones takes the reins of five Florida health plans, bringing two decades of experience. Jones will also lead Clear Health Alliance, Freedom Health, Optimum HealthCare and HealthSun. He brings more than 20 years of healthcare leadership experience. Jones previously served as market president of Navvis Healthcare in Florida, where he oversaw Medicaid shared-savings and risk-based contracts. Before that, he was president and CEO of Molina Healthcare in Florida. He also held senior roles managing Medicaid and Medicare operations across multiple states, as well as leadership positions at UnitedHealthcare, Lumeris and Humana. “Strong partnerships between health plans, state agencies and providers are essential to improving healthcare access and outcomes for Floridians,” Agency for Health Care Administration Secretary Shevaun Harris said. “I look forward to working with Mike to build on these efforts, strengthen care coordination and ensure Floridians have access to the quality care they deserve.”

Situational awareness   Tweet, tweet: —@alexbruesewitz: I just had a productive call with @LauraLoomer. We agree on the need to strengthen disclosure rules for paid political content, especially content funded by foreign governments or interests. She made clear that she has never been paid by any foreign government, and I believe her. We also discussed how the influencer ecosystem has drifted far from its independent roots and is now heavily shaped by special interests and lobbyists. Paid political advocacy is currently the only major form of sponsored online content that does not require clear disclosure. Promote a protein bar and you must label it as a paid partnership. Get paid to oppose the President’s tariffs or other policies, and no disclosure is required. Both parties routinely work with influencers to advance candidates and causes; I have direct experience with this. This is totally unregulated space. It’s time for the FTC to update its guidelines so paid political content is treated with the same transparency standards as commercial endorsements. —@JonMcGowan: One side effect of the Republican victories in Florida is that politicos are so focused on taking credit for what went right, they won't see the signs of what went wrong. Nick Saban famously went back to work the day after winning a national championship. Work still had to be done. Rs in Florida need to do the same soul-searching and analysis as the national party. Duval County is becoming a Democrat stronghold. Safe seats were too close. Florida is in play in 2028. —@JYapo: Proud of my friend @bradherold. He put faith first, and everything else followed. Not just the sharp work he put into Byron Donalds’ historic win in Florida, but the life he built for himself and his family. The discipline, the consistency, the quiet choices that never made the headlines but clearly shaped the man he is. That kind of foundation doesn’t happen by accident. Well done, Brad. Tweet, tweet: Tweet, tweet: —@FloridaRaemi: I am not running for House District 22. House District 22 needs a Representative from Alachua County to keep it red. We have lower-propensity voters who need to be met at their doors and called personally by the candidate to get them to the polls. I like Chad Johnson, and he’s a good guy. He had his chance. He honestly did not do the boots-on-the-ground work required for Alachua County. I will always be the volunteer to speak the truth others will not. The fact that we need a Representative from Alachua County is the elephant in the room Chad’s close friends won’t even address. Tweet, tweet:

Sunburn — The morning read of what’s hot in Florida politics — 11.10.26

 

From: Extensive Media Enterprises  

Everything you need to know before Tallahassee wakes up

Good Tuesday morning.

Corcoran Partners is adding another House veteran to its lobbying roster.

Amelia Angleton has joined the firm after more than a decade in state government, most recently serving as communications director for House Speaker Daniel Perez. In that role, she oversaw the chamber’s communications strategy and advised Perez on legislative priorities, major policy issues and public messaging.

Amelia Angleton takes her House experience to Corcoran Partners, trading legislative communications for lobbying.

Before joining Perez’s team, Angleton served as Deputy Chief of Staff for policy under former Speaker Paul Renner, helping develop legislative priorities and coordinate policy initiatives across House Committees. She also held senior positions supporting three House Majority Leaders, including serving as staff director and deputy staff director of the House Majority Office.

“Amelia is exactly the kind of person we want on our team,” said Mike Corcoran, the firm’s founder and CEO. “She has spent her career working at the highest levels of the Florida House, earning the trust and respect of members and leadership along the way.”

Speaker-designate Sam Garrison also praised the hire, saying Angleton has earned a reputation for knowing the legislative process inside and out.

“She knows her stuff, and Corcoran Partners is lucky to have her,” Garrison said.

In her new role, Angleton will provide strategic counsel to clients navigating legislative and policy issues, drawing on experience spanning communications, policy development and House leadership.

“I’m excited to join a firm with Corcoran Partners’ reputation and record of success, and I look forward to putting my experience to work advocating for clients, advancing their priorities and achieving meaningful results,” Angleton said.

___

Incoming House Speaker Garrison is putting two lawmakers in charge of some of the Legislature’s most consequential spending decisions, tapping Traci Koster to oversee the House budget and Mike Redondo to lead healthcare appropriations.

Koster, a Hillsborough County Republican representing House District 66, will chair the Appropriations Committee and become the House’s chief budget negotiator. She succeeds Lawrence McClure, who navigated difficult negotiations during the previous two Legislative Sessions.

Traci Koster and Mike Redondo land key House budget assignments, with plenty of tough spending choices ahead.

Redondo, whose House District 118 includes part of Miami-Dade County, will chair the Health Care Appropriations Subcommittee. His assignment puts him at the center of decisions affecting healthcare funding and access statewide, an especially consequential portfolio as lawmakers confront competing demands for state dollars.

The appointments come as Republicans prepare to govern without their former House supermajority. Democratic gains in last week’s Midterm Elections narrowed the GOP’s legislative advantage, potentially complicating negotiations when the 2027 Legislative Session begins March 2.

Garrison also named Randy Maggard House Majority Leader and Adam Botana Rules & Calendar Committee Chair. Botana will help determine which legislation reaches the House floor, while Maggard will lead Republican vote-getting. Demi Busatta becomes Speaker Pro Tempore and Health & Human Services Committee Chair.

The leadership team formally takes over following the Nov. 17 Organization Session. Koster and Redondo will assume their assignments amid a broader transition in Tallahassee, with Gov.-elect Byron Donalds taking office in January. Their decisions will help define the House’s spending priorities under a new Governor and a changed legislative balance.

___

Garrison also named Brian Logan as his Chief of Staff while he fills out senior staffing positions for the 2026-28 legislative term.

The appointments, outlined in a three-page roster distributed to House members last week and released publicly on Monday, cover the Speaker’s Office, administrative operations and legislative Committees.
