Jared Moskowitz, Florida official overseeing COVID-19 response, resigns

(Local10News) TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A top Florida official responsible for his state’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak is stepping down.

Jared Moskowitz heads Florida’s Division of Emergency Management and has overseen much of the state’s response to the outbreak.

He told the USA Today Network that an official announcement of his departure is expected Tuesday by Gov. Ron DeSantis.

Moskowitz, who was raised in South Florida and graduated from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, said he won’t be leaving the job immediately but will stay on to allow for a “gradual transition.”

Moskowitz, 40, is a Democrat and former member of the state House.

I can't imagine how hard his job must have been with having to deal with the governor. Hopefully a republican won't replace him or vaccinations and testing will be a bigger mess than it is.

When Gov. Ron DeSantis needed to hire a data analyst, his staff picked a little-known Ohio sports blogger and Uber driver whose only relevant experience is spreading harmful conspiracy theories about COVID-19 on the Internet.
