Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has made dominating public schools a signature issue in his efforts to appeal to his political base, with the help of school-focused groups funded by dark money donors.
Emails uncovered in a public records request by True North Research demonstrate that MFL was influential to the DeSantis administration and its policies as early as June 2021, just six months after the group was launched.
On June 30, 2021, MFL co-creator Tina Descovich sat in on a high-level call with the Florida Department of Education and state senate staffers regarding COVID-19 health policies in schools, even though Florida voters had rejected her bid to remain on the Brevard County School Board in 2020.
