Governor Ron DeSantis placed Kissimmee Mayor Jackie Espinosa on suspension on October 31, 2026, and Vice Mayor Angela Eady will assume mayoral duties.
The action follows Espinosa’s involvement in an investigation of alleged state ethics law violations and her arrest on fraud and grand theft charges.
City officials indicated that the mayor has been under multiple investigations tied to the city’s Boost 2.0 program, prompting the governor’s decision.
