Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has hired his top adviser to lead his campaign as the primary season officially begins to heat up with the first GOP debate only a couple of weeks away.
DeSantis replaced Generra Peck with James Uthmeier, who served as the Florida governor’s chief of staff and is considered to be “one of his most trusted, and most conservative” advisers, according to The Messenger. Peck will stay on the campaign and serve as chief strategist.
The report added that Uthmeier will also have a new deputy campaign manager, David Polyansky, who was described in as “an experienced Iowa operative who boasts of never losing a Republican presidential primary in the first-in-the-nation caucus state.”
