DeSantis Proposed as Debate Moderator

Florida Governor candidate James Fishback has proposed that Governor Ron DeSantis serve as the sole moderator for the July 15th primary debate. The event, scheduled to take place at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, will feature Fishback alongside fellow Republican candidates Byron Donalds, Paul Renner, and Jay Collins.

DeSantis’s Qualifications

According to Fishback, DeSantis’s extensive track record in office makes him the most qualified person to handle the questioning. Fishback argues that DeSantis has a unique perspective, having led the state through major policy battles involving law and order, education, immigration, and public safety.

Fishback has formally requested that the broadcasting network extend the official moderation invitation to DeSantis for the July event. Fishback’s campaign focuses on building on the current governor’s platform, and he believes DeSantis is the best person to press the candidates on specific legislative substance.
