    Ron DeSantis’ wife and children

    Ron DeSantis has been married to former TV host Casey Black since 2010, and has three kids, Madison, Mason, and Mamie. Casey has actively spearheaded several initiatives in the Republican Governor’s administration in Florida centred around mental health and substance abuse. 

    In a 2018 interview, Casey revealed how she met DeSantis while practising golf at a driving range. “I kept looking over my shoulder because I wanted the bucket of balls that somebody had left,” she said in the interview. “As I’m looking over behind me, Ron is over there. He thinks I’m looking at him. I was really looking at the balls. Long story short we started to talk and that’s how we met.”

    Casey was recently diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, which Ron DeSantis labelled as the “test of her life.” She was declared completely cancer-free as of March 2022. The Florida First Lady resumed her official duties a few months ago declaring she is “fit to fight”. “I’m feeling good, and I’m here, and I’m fit to fight, and that’s a lot due to your encouragement,” said Casey at an event. 

    The couple shared what life is like with their three kids, saying that it’s a challenging job making sure that the kids don’t destroy any of the “irreplaceable history of Florida” sitting in every nook and cranny of the Governor’s mansion. 

    “You go into the dining room, you see stuff from the USS Florida. You see the late 19th-century wallpaper, and I don’t think that orange crayon would look good on that,” shares Casey, with DeSantis adding, “We tried to baby-proof this place, but there are so many nooks and crannies, and they find all the nooks and crannies.”

    Ron DeSantis early life and education

    Ron DeSantis

    DeSantis was born on 14th September 1978 to Karen and Ronald Daniel DeSantis. 

    Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is of Italian descent, with all of his great-grandparents born in Italy. Salvatore Storti, his maternal great-great-grandfather, immigrated to the United States from Italy in 1904 and settled in Pennsylvania. Luigia Colucci, his great-great-grandmother, immigrated to the United States with her husband in 1917.

    DeSantis’ mother worked as a nurse, and his father installed Nielsen television rating boxes. When he was six years old, his family moved to Orlando, Florida, before relocating to Dunedin, Florida. His sister Christina Marie DeSantis was born on May 5, 1985, in Orlando and died in 2015. He was a member of the Dunedin National Little League team that advanced to the 1991 Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. DeSantis was a student at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School and Dunedin High School, graduating in 1997.

    DeSantis attended Yale University after high school to study history. He captained Yale’s varsity baseball team and was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was a Yale baseball outfielder who had the best batting average on the team as a senior in 2001, hitting.336.

After a year as a history teacher at the Darlington School, he went on to Harvard Law School, where he earned a Juris Doctor cum laude in 2005.

    Governor DeSantis as a rising GOP star

    In recent years, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has emerged as one of the most popular GOP members after former President Donald Trump. DeSantis has made himself a national image as an avid opposer of coronavirus precautions and someone who doesn’t shy away from occasional clashes with culture.

    In recent months, the Florida Governor has signed several “cultural war” bills including the infamous ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, that bans the discussion of sexual identity in schools of Florida from kindergarten classrooms through Grade 3, citing that teaching kids that “they can be whatever they want to be” is “inappropriate.”

    Ron DeSantis captures everything that an ideal MAGA candidate would have; a high-profile leader who embraces all the ultra-conservative aspects of the movement like opposing covid lockdown measures, attacking the ‘woke’ leftist culture and more recently, imposing the ban on abortion in Florida.

    DeSantis’ campaign communication director Lindsey Curnutte says he is just what America needs after “Joe Biden’s destructive policies” have plagued the nation. “[His] Freedom Agenda has been the much-needed antidote for Joe Biden’s destructive policies — and he’s eager to support bold leaders who are fighting for freedom in their own states as November approaches.”- she says in a statement. 

    Indeed; DeSantis’ Trump-like stance without all the legal trouble is exactly what is needed. The Florida Governor resembles the former president even in his regular jibes. “Someone needs to grab that little elf and chuck him across the Potomac,” says DeSantis at a rally, referring to Joe Biden’s top medical advisor, Anthony Fauci.
