As a Democrat, is NOT the Chair of any committee. He IS the ranking member of the HFAC.

The Chair of the committee is Brian Mast (R), from Florida's 21st district. Who the Hell is Brian Mast?

According to Wikipedia, it's this guy:

Mast ran for reelection in 2020 against Democratic nominee Pam Keith. In August 2020 he apologized for what he called "disgusting and inappropriate jokes" that he made on Facebook in 2009 and 2011 responding to a friend and subsequent campaign manager about sex with 15-year-old girls in South Africa and an end-of-the-world pick-up line involving rape or murder.[33]


And where the Hell is the 21st Congressional district of Florida?

The district, numbered as the 18th district before the 2020 redistricting cycle, includes the Treasure Coast and northern portions of Palm Beach County.


Can you think of anyone else who might live in that county?
