My Last Rundown as CFO

This will be my last Run Down as your Chief Financial Officer.

If you know me, you know what gets me fired up each and every day is the opportunity to fix problems for Floridians. And to me, the Department of Financial Services (DFS), especially the people of this agency, exemplifies the mission of public service.

From small things like helping people navigate filing claims for broken water heaters or collecting an unclaimed property check, to catastrophic events, like families whose homes were wiped out due to hurricanes, DFS has been in the thick-of-it when it comes to serving the people of our state. When people were in need, we answered the call. I am extremely proud of that.

We’ve accomplished so much together, and I won’t try to list everything we’ve done here — it would be too long! So, let me just say this: DFS is special, and its people are true public servants who make the world a better place. Personally, serving alongside the men and women of this agency has been the honor of a lifetime.

While leaving this office is bittersweet, I am comforted by the fact that we have made a difference in this wonderful state. First and foremost, I am a Floridian and I have the citizens of this state to thank for putting their trust in me. And whether here or in our nation’s capital, know this: Florida is my home, and I will always fight for it. If you ever need to reach out to me, send me an email at jimmy@joinjimmy.com.
