Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) is being considered for the role of FEMA head in a potential second Trump administration. Despite speculation, he has stated he plans to remain in Congress and run for re-election. Moskowitz previously led Florida's disaster response under Gov. Ron DeSantis and earned over $4 million from his consulting firm after leaving that position. His firm, MOD LLC, has worked with various clients, but he has not disclosed all of them. If nominated, Moskowitz would lead FEMA during a challenging time, following accusations against the agency from Trump regarding disaster relief. Moskowitz has also proposed making FEMA a Cabinet-level agency, which would change its current structure.
