Chris Kise served several GOP governors in the state.
Kise, who was once solicitor general under then-Attorney General Charlie Crist when Crist was still in the GOP, played a pivotal role in the 2018 election contest between DeSantis and Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum. Kise represented Adam Corey, a lobbyist and former friend of Gillum, amid a swirl of questions about possibly improper trips Gillum made while he was Tallahassee mayor, including who paid for them.
Kise, who once ran for the state senate back in 1998, has long-standing connections to many of Florida’s Republican power brokers extending back to his time as the top attorney for Crist. After serving as solicitor general, he worked for the law firm of Foley & Lardner and was one of the attorneys who litigated Florida’s long-running battle with the state of Georgia over water rights.
