Fred Piccolo out as Gov. DeSantis spokesperson

Fred Piccolo, Communications Director for Gov. Ron DeSantis, is resigning his position, senior sources with the Governor’s Office inform Florida Politics.

Piccolo will become the Executive Vice-Chancellor of the Florida College System on Jan. 6, where he will reunite with former boss Richard Corcoran. Piccolo served as Communications Director for Corcoran during his tenure as House Speaker.

“We’re thrilled to have Fred Piccolo joining the Department of Education family,” said Corcoran in a statement to Florida Politics. “He brings a wealth of knowledge, skill, and years of experience to the department and will provide strategic leadership in developing cross-divisional education strategies for postsecondary and career and adult education to ensure Florida postsecondary students can continue to receive a world-class education.”

While Piccolo is not officially leaving office until he begins his new job, his responsibilities will be handed off to other staff members.
