Meet your Chief Financial Officer Blaise Ingoglia

Blaise Ingoglia built his reputation by holding government accountable, long before he held public office. Originally from New York, Blaise moved to Spring Hill, Florida, in 1996 with just $1,600 to his name. He soon found success as a mortgage broker and later founded Hartland Homes, a homebuilding company dedicated to helping working families achieve the dream of homeownership.

Ingoglia’s interest in public service was sparked in 2007 when he noticed local governments “going wild” spending property tax dollars. That frustration led him to launch Government Gone Wild, a viral video series and public seminar campaign aimed at exposing government waste and out-of-control spending. His YouTube channel has garnered nearly 8 million views, helping to spark a broader national conversation about fiscal responsibility.

Over time, Blaise became a respected voice for transparency and common-sense governance, serving in the Florida Senate, representing the 11th district, from 2022 to 2025, and the Florida House of Representatives from 2014 to 2022 in the 35th district, as well as chairman of the Republican Party of Florida from 2015 to 2019. But long before that, he was just a homebuilder with a camcorder, a YouTube channel, and a determination to make sure taxpayer dollars were treated with respect.

And yes, fittingly for someone named Blaise, he now serves as Florida’s State Fire Marshal and works every day to support firefighters in their life-saving missions.

CFO Blaise Ingoglia’s top priority is making Florida more affordable, with a focus on lowering property taxes and reducing insurance costs for hardworking families.
