Taddeo Campaign Launches Ad Attacking Ingoglia's CFO Record

Democrat Annette Taddeo's campaign for Florida Chief Financial Officer rolled out a new digital ad Monday attacking Republican Blaise Ingoglia's tenure in the office, according to a press release from CVS Communications. The 30-second spot highlights recent scrutiny of the Department of Financial Services under Ingoglia's watch, including missing documentation for more than $342 million in contracts and a grand jury's findings on a $10 million Hope Florida Medicaid settlement.

The ad accuses Ingoglia of giving insurance companies a $3 billion bailout and diverting $10 million meant for sick children toward political activity. "Ingoglia's corruption has gone wild, and it's costing you more," the narrator states, before Taddeo pledges to lower insurance rates and ensure accountability.

Taddeo, a South Florida business owner who founded LanguageSpeak three decades ago, flipped a Republican state Senate seat in 2017 to become the first Latina Democrat elected to the Florida Senate. She served five years on the Banking and Insurance Committee before launching her bid for the statewide financial oversight position, focusing on insurance costs, accountability, and protecting taxpayer dollars.
