Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is replacing presidential campaign manager Generra Peck with longtime aide James Uthmeier, according to reports from multiple media outlets.
Uthmeier was previously chief of staff to the DeSantis’ gubernatorial office; Peck will stay on as a strategist for the DeSantis campaign.
“James Uthmeier has been one of Governor DeSantis’ top advisors for years and he is needed where it matters most: working hand in hand with Generra Peck and the rest of the team to put the governor in the best possible position to win this primary and defeat Joe Biden,” campaign Communications Director Andrew Romeo told Fox in a statement. “David Polyansky will also be a critical addition to the team given his presidential campaign experience in Iowa and work at Never Back Down. We are excited about these additions as we continue to spread the governor’s message across the country. It’s time to reverse our nation’s decline and revive America’s future.”
“People have written Governor DeSantis’s obituary many times,” Uthmeier told The Messanger in a Tuesday statement. “From his race against establishment primary candidate Adam Putnam, to his victory over legacy media-favored candidate Andrew Gillum [in 2018], to his twenty-point win over Charlie Crist [in 2022], Governor DeSantis has proven that he knows how to win. He’s breaking records on fundraising and has a supporting super PAC with $100 million in the bank and an incredible ground game. Get ready.”
