David Mica Jr. is now chief of staff at the Department of Children and Families under Secretary Chad Poppell

His new role was reflected in a DCF organizational chart that came out Monday.

Mica was most recently former Gov. Rick Scott’s pick as CEO of Volunteer Florida. He was replaced, by Gov. Ron DeSantis, with former state Rep. Clay Ingram, a Pensacola Republican.

Mica also served as chief of staff of the Florida Lottery, stepping in as interim secretary between Tom Delacenserie and current Secretary Jim Poppell.

Mica was legislative affairs director for the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and was a Gubernatorial Fellow in 2013-14.
