Jason Wayda, who has led the State Healthcare Management Bureau in the past two years, will be the next chief of chief of Governor Ron Desantis.
Wida will be the successor to James Usmieer, who has quit his position as a chief of staff to become the Justice Secretary of the State.
Uthmeier has announced the selection of Wida in a memo addressed to “Team Desantis”. The memo did not say when the change would be valid.

“We have the best team in Japan. We know that your success will continue only under the governor and Jason,” a note.
Wayda, a lawyer, became the secretary of the Healthcare Management Organization (AHCA) in 2023 after serving as Chief of Staff of the government agency.
According to his official BIO, “I was a lawyer in the US Department of Justice (DOJ), a lawyer in Boston, and a lawyer in the Washington DC Legal Policy Bureau.” “In his role at DOJ, he has carefully adjusted with his partner of the Federal Executive Bureau and a law execution agency, including the Federal Bureau.”
Desantis said last month that Uthmeier would take the former Captain Ashley Moody, a former Secretary of Justice, replacing Dasantis’s former U.S. Senator MARCO Rubio. John Gard is a representative judge.
More music chairs of the state government
The withdrawal of Wadant from AHCA means a higher -level vacant seat that the governor must meet.
For example, in addition to tapping Usmiaer to replace Moody, Desantis also needs to appoint an alternative to the state’s highest finances, Jimmy Patronis. He is widely hoped to win a special general election for the seats of the Pan Handle Congress, which was previously held by Republican Matt Gaets.
He chose two of the three independent members of the Florida Cabinet, assuming that Patronis won on April 1 and Desantis would take alternative to him.
“The chairperson, the chairman, will function as a group of specific state institutions, boards, and committee members, including the Florida State Executive Office (FDLE) and the State Executive Committee. According to the cabinet website.
Joe Gurters, a member of the Republican Republican Republican, who is a Desanthis nemi, intends to run for CFO in 2026, when patronis was restricted. Meanwhile, Desantis Ally Blaise Ingoglia, Springhill, a member of the Republican Senator, was discussed as the governor’s choice.
Both Glutters and Ingoglia were Florida Republican chairs.
