Daniel Foganholi Is Proud To Be A “Broward Republican”

State Board Of Education Member Daniel Foganholi spoke to the Republican Club of Plantation Thursday evening at the Jim Ward Community Center. Foganholi, a former Broward School Board Member, discussed educational issues at the State and local level such as the formation of debate and civics clubs at Florida schools, violations of transgender policies and disciplinary actions against school board members who celebrated the murder of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Other guest speakers at last night’s meeting were Plantation Councilmember Tim Fadgen, Cooper City Commissioner Jason Smith (a Republican candidate for Florida House District 102) and Broward Sheriff candidate Charles Whatley.

Sunrise City Commission candidate Evelyn Bryant also attended the proceedings.

Governor Ron DeSantis Appoints Daniel Foganholi To State Board Of Education

Governor Ron DeSantis just appointed Broward School Board Member Daniel Foganholi to the State Board Of Education. The appointment comes days after a disappointing electoral result for Foganholi on Tuesday. Foganholi will remain on the School Board through November.

Anna Fusco Attacks Daniel Foganholi and Other Broward School Board Members

The move is a stinging rebuke of Broward Teachers Union (BTU) President Anna Fusco who attacked Foganoli and other Board Members by name at a Wednesday board meeting. Fusco said “bye, bye, bye” to Foganholi. Now, with a spot on the State Board of Education, Daniel Foganholi will continue to have an oversight role in the district including the BTU.

Thanks, Anna!
