a "good mother" and a role model for women to drop out of the work force and tend to the hearth of the Family.

Now, she's being promoted as not just a legislator, but an executive running the state.

This is her employment background:
Early in her career, DeSantis hosted the Golf Channel programs On The Tee and PGA Tour Today. She was also a local newscaster and anchor for WJXT, in Jacksonville, Florida. She held several positions there, including general assignment reporter, morning anchor, and police reporter.

In 2014, DeSantis was a creator-moderator for The Chat, an hour-long round table panel discussion talk show that aired on Tegna's Jacksonville stations WTLV (NBC) and WJXX (ABC). She hosted the daily local talk show First Coast Living as well as the weekly The American Dream program about entrepreneurs. DeSantis wrote and produced the television documentary Champion, The JT Townsend Story about high school football player J.T. Townsend. She also won a regional Suncoast Emmy Award.

Like many of Trump's selections for his "Cabinet", she draws her experience in the Media.

I re-iterate my opinion: She would be the front for DeSantis continuing to run Florida.
