DeeDee Davis Named to Film and Entertainment Advisory Council

On Friday, Florida Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Fort Walton Beach, named former state Rep. DeeDee Davis to the Florida Film and Entertainment Advisory Council. While her background is mainly in education, including being named Florida Teacher of the Year in 1990 and to the Florida Educators Hall of Fame in 1998, the same year she was elected to the House as a Democrat, Davis helped found the Pensacola Bay International Film and Television Festival back in 2003. Davis had been married to former state Rep. Buzz Ritchie and ran for the Florida Senate in 2000 but came up short against Republican candidate Durell Peaden.

The people of our state are very fortunate to have the benefit of DeeDees unique abilities and insights in this important role, said Gaetz. Her strong background and expertise in education, the arts and economic development make a perfect combination of credentials for guiding and promoting our states growing film and entertainment industries.
