A former staffer for mafia-connected Secretary of Labor RAYMOND DONOVAN, Ballard partners Jacksonville Managing Partner SUSAN WILES once managed both the TRUMP and SCOTT campaigns in Florida.
Seeking to inflict an illegal referendum to put slot machines in St. Johns County, SUSAN SUMMERALL WILES never spoke in public in 2016 when she lobbied behind the scenes, sans registration. St. Johns County still lacks lobbyist registration, with a proposed ordinance delayed until after the next legislative session.
WILES' daughter was briefly a President DONALD TRUMP employee, kicked out of the White House after failing a background investigation.

AN WILES:
From Palm Beach Post:
Susie Wiles, new campaign chairwoman for Republican gubernatorial nominee Ron DeSantis.
With multiple polls showing him trailing Democrat Andrew Gillum in the Florida governor’s race, Republican Ron DeSantis has brought on veteran Florida operative Susie Wiles to lead his campaign with the title of campaign chairwoman.
It’s not the first time a high-profile Florida campaign has turned to Wiles for help in September of an election year. Wiles was chief Florida strategist for Donald Trump‘s 2016 campaign, taking the role shortly after Labor Day that year and helping Trump win the crucial Sunshine State by 1.2 percent over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
She was also Rick Scott‘s campaign manager in 2010 when then-outsider Scott bucked the GOP establishment to defeat Attorney General Bill McCollum for the gubernatorial nomination, then won the general election over Democrat Alex Sink.
Wiles, who lives in Jacksonville, said she will be taking temporary leave from her job as a lobbyist with the powerhouse Florida-Washington Ballard Partners firm.
Brad Herold will remain as DeSantis’ campaign manager.
Since the Aug. 28 primaries, at least eight public polls have shown Gillum leading. The Democrat’s edge is within or close to the margins of error for each poll, though a Quinnipiac University survey released Wednesday gives Gillum a 9-point advantage. Republican insiders concede Gillum has a slight edge in his bid to become the state’s first black governor and first Democrat to win a governor’s race since 1994.
“I’m excited to have Susie join our team as Campaign Chairman. She has the knowledge, expertise and acumen to carry our message to voters all across Florida. With her winning record, Susie is the ideal person to lead our campaign efforts and help us secure a big victory come November,” said DeSantis.
“Florida’s future depends on building upon the successes of our state’s outstanding Republican leadership. Ron DeSantis is the only candidate who will lead Florida forward and help our state and its people realize their full potential. With so much at stake for our state in this election, I am honored to lead his campaign team, and look forward to working with Floridians everywhere to elect Ron as our next governor,” said Wiles.

View Susie’s Full ProfileSummary
I am a seasoned communications, political & government relations professional with more than 20 years of proven results at the national, state and local level. For better or worse, I have enormous capacity, love variety and thrive under pressure. Above all, I cherish the opportunity to make a difference.
In a career that’s taken me from the White House and Capitol Hill to corporate boardrooms and City Hall, I’ve learned firsthand how government works and things get done, and I’ve had a chance to make it happen. That broad and practical knowledge, combined with my ability to turn situations and perceptions around, is probably my greatest asset, and I thoroughly enjoy putting it to work to help like-minded candidates, clients and partners succeed.
Currently, I wear two hats. I’m the Jacksonville managing partner of Ballard Partners, Florida’s largest government affairs firm. Along with media personality, philanthropist and former Jacksonville Jaguars great Tony Boselli, I’m also a principal in Right Coast Strategies, a public affairs and direct marketing PR firm headquartered in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Susie Wiles is an amazing leader! While working with Susie, she demonstrated great leadership and organization. She motivated us to work together as a team by setting the standard of example. She was always on top of an ever evolving project. It was because of Susie's hard work and dedication that the Governor of the state of Florida is Rick Scott today. Through the journey of the Scott campaign, Susie has become not only a great mentor but a great friend as well! Thank you Susie for giving me the opportunity to be successful!
