Denise Grimsley Named Senate Deputy Majority Leader

Florida Senate Majority Leader Bill Galvano, R-Bradenton, announced on Thursday that Sen. Denise Grimsley, R-Sebring, will serve as deputy majority leader.

Denise has extensive legislative experience including budget and health care matters as a previous House Appropriations chair and the Senate Health and Human Services Appropriations chair, said Galvano. As a fifth-generation Floridian, a parent, and business woman, Denise knows firsthand the challenges and opportunities of citizens and business owners in our state. She is a conservative leader whose experience will serve our caucus greatly.

First elected to the Senate in 2012, Grimsley served eight years in the Florida House, serving with Galvano in three of those terms.
