DeSantis appoints Cuban-American appellate chief to the Florida Supreme Court

Gov. Ron DeSantis elevated the Florida Sixth District Court of Appellate Chief Judge to the Florida Supreme Court last month.

Meredith Sasso, a Cuban-American, is the fourth woman and fourth Hispanic that DeSantis has appointed to the state’s highest court since he entered the office in 2019.

“The judiciary plays a critical and unique role in our constitutional government, and I am resolutely committed to upholding the rule of law for as long as I am privileged to serve,” Sasso said in a statement online.
