The Florida Legislature may be in charge of the bills and the budget, but it's Florida's executive branch who takes care of the day-to-day running of the state.

Florida's executive branch is composed of the governor and lieutenant governor and the cabinet, attorney general, chief financial officer, and commissioner of agriculture. The officials make up the Florida Cabinet.

The cabinet as a body oversees the following agencies:

Dept. of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles | Dept. of Law Enforcement | Dept. of Revenue | Dept. of Veterans Affairs

Other agencies are overseen by different individual members of the cabinet. 

These are your Florida executive officials.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:

The governor is responsible for day-to-day operations of the state. The governor appoints the heads of departments under sole oversight of the governor as well as the heads of departments that are under both the governor and state cabinet's oversight, with majority approval. The governor also appoints members of several regulatory boards and commissions. By executive order, the governor may suspend from office any state or county elected official who is not subject to impeachment. The governor has the power to fill vacancies in office by appointment, according to law.
