Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday named state Rep. Juan Alfonso Fernandez-Barquin, a Republican, to serve as Miami-Dade County clerk of the court and comptroller.

Fernandez-Barquin, an attorney, was first elected to the House in 2018 and most recently chaired the House Ethics, Elections & Open Government Subcommittee.
