WASHINGTON — Ron DeSantis’s 2024 campaign team is quickly taking shape with the Florida governor lining up trusted aides to helm an expected presidential bid, according to people familiar with his plans.
DeSantis is expected to appoint Generra Peck as campaign manager and director, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details are private. Peck earned the trust of both DeSantis and his wife, Casey, who remains his most influential political adviser, by running his successful gubernatorial campaign last year. DeSantis cruised to a landslide 19-percentage point victory over Democrat Charlie Crist.
Florida pollster Ryan Tyson, who runs his own agency in Tallahassee, will also play a key role as a campaign strategist as DeSantis seeks to translate his conservative record in the state capital into policy proposals for a national audience. Tyson will be responsible for all internal polling.
