The Florida Ethics Commission found, on Dec. 3, there was probable cause that Nicole Fried, a leading Democrat challenger to Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2022, inaccurately reported her income.

Fried is the Commissioner of Agriculture, the first woman to be elected to the position, and a Manatee County commissioner.
