GET ME REWRITE: Apparently, leaders of Florida Moms for Liberty are really into sex and lobbying

 
Headline:  Florida Bulldog, 3/4/2024
Florida Ethics Commissioner Tina Descovich, co-founder of the controversial political group Moms for Liberty, awaits a confirmation vote before the Florida Senate this week, even as a newly filed ethics complaint could well lead to her ouster. 
If so, it would mark the second time in less than a year that Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed someone to Florida’s constitutionally established Commission on Ethics who was forced out for an ethical violation. 
Descovich appeared for a hearing before the Senate Ethics and Elections Committee last Monday. 
The work that I do with the organization that I founded, and as the executive director, is independent and separate from the role on the ethics commission,” Descovich said. “I can promise you this: I will be just. I will be fair. I will work with my teammates on the commission.” 
She came away with the Republican-dominated committee’s endorsement. But all three Democrats on the nine person committee voted no. Rep. Tina Scott Polsky, D-Boca Raton 
Rep. Tina Scott Polsky, D-Boca Raton, called out Descovich for her “very public, personal biases” and Moms for Liberty “as political, as divisive and they have wormed their way into the top echelons of this government.”
