WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott announced that Stu Sandler will become Chief of Staff of his U.S. Senate Office upon the departure of Craig Carbone at the end of this week. Sandler brings decades of experience to the team, including serving as the National Republican Senatorial Committee Political Director, Executive Director of the Michigan Republican Party, Deputy Director of the Republican Jewish Coalition and Director of External Affairs for Michigan Attorney General Mike Cox. Sandler is a graduate of the University of Michigan and George Washington School of Law.

Senator Rick Scott said, “It is an incredible honor to congratulate my friend and Chief of Staff, Craig Carbone, as he takes the next steps in his career after years of public service when I was Florida’s Governor and in my U.S. Senate office. Craig has been an incredible leader for our team as my Chief of Staff and an integral part of our success. He has led our constituent services team to become the best in the nation, helped the passage of legislation that made our state safer and more prosperous, and worked tirelessly to make life better for Floridians. Our office is proud to welcome Stu Sandler as my next Chief of Staff to build on our great success here in the Senate. I’ve had the opportunity to work with Stu for years, and he’s proven to be a great team member, effective leader, and trusted advisor who will fight hard to represent the best interests of Florida families. I am glad to have Stu join our great team, and wish Craig all the best for his continued success.”
