What to know

Ingoglia holds this office by appointment, not election. Ron DeSantis named him CFO in July 2025 after Jimmy Patronis resigned to run for Congress, so this is the first time voters decide on him in the job. He served in the Florida House from 2014 to 2022 and the Florida Senate from 2022 to 2025, chaired the Republican Party of Florida from 2015 to 2019, and is a homebuilder. As CFO he has led audits of local government spending alongside DeSantis's state DOGE effort. His campaign lists insurance-company accountability, government waste and storm resilience as priorities.

Positions on Key Issues

Sourced from campaign websites and public statements. These are the candidate's own claims as published, not independently verified by Activate Pinellas unless marked.

Immigration

For years, Blaise has been the go-to voice in the legislature to stop illegal immigration. This commitment to law and order is exemplified by SB 1718, which Blaise sponsored to stop giving IDs and driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, mandate the use of E-Verify, and increase fines and penalties for employers who hire illegal aliens. Blaise also led the effort to prohibit an illegal alien from wiring money to another country to pay drug cartels.

Gun Policy

The Second Amendment Right to bear arms is a cornerstone of our republic, and it’s under attack by both Democrats and Republicans like never before. That’s why Blaise is standing in the way of those who want to impose tyrannical regulations on our guns. In 2018, Blaise stood with gun owners and voted against the largest gun control measure in Florida’s history, thereby solidifying his legacy as one of the most pro-2A legislators in the legislature. In 2025, Blaise sponsored and drove the passage of SB 952, legislation that struck down unconstitutional restrictions on the sale, display, and possession of firearms and ammunition during a declared state of emergency.

Public Safety

Blaise Ingoglia has always backed Florida’s First Responders, understanding that police, sheriff deputies, firefighters, EMTs, and other emergency personnel are critical to public safety. Suicide has become an epidemic among our First Responders. Blaise tackled this tragedy head-on by helping to pass laws to expand workers’ comp coverage for First Responders suffering with PTSD. He also advanced legislation to provide cancer presumption coverage for firefighters, as the fires of today are much more harmful due to chemicals than the fires of previous decades.

Blaise also passed laws stopping the demonizing of law enforcement by the radical “defund the police” crowd. Now, as CFO, he now oversees the State Fire Marshal’s Office, giving him direct authority to support these heroes through equipment upgrades, training programs, and funding for emergency response.
