Mike Grissom has been named as executive director of the Republican Party of Florida, replacing the departing Andy Palmer.

“Mike brings a wealth of political experience to the RPOF,” said Chairman Lenny Curry. “As deputy executive director, Mike worked alongside Andy Palmer to lay the groundwork for the Party’s 2012 victory plan and played an integral role in the planning and execution of Presidency 5. I am confident that his experience in that position will ensure a speedy and seamless transition.”
 
Grissom was a strategist for Rick Scott's gubernatorial campaign and was then appointed Deputy Executive Director of the Republican Party of Florida by former Chairman Dave Bitner.
