Demand FL Governor Ron DeSantis to reinstate Lake Wales City Commissioner Kris Fitzgerald

The Issue

FL Governor Ron DeSantis suspended Lake Wales City Commissioner Kris Fitzgerald July 2021 after a weapons charge.  Her acquittal came after a one-day trial in Oct 2022.  

Kris Fitzgerald is a certified mental health professional and was a long-time employee of the Vanguard School in Lake Wales.  Fitzgerald ran a successful underdog campaign against an incumbent city commissioner and Won!  Florida Statutes 112.51.6 allows the governor to suspend municipal officials but says in part that "if the municipal official is an acquittal or found not guilty...then the Governor shall forthwith revoke the suspension and restore such municipal official to office.:

Show your support and let's send DeSantis a message to reinstate Fitzgerald as quickly as he suspended her.
