Former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz said he’s “returning to public service” — this time as a board member of a state-created nonprofit.
Gaetz announced Tuesday on the social media site X that he had been tapped by state House Speaker Daniel Perez to sit on the board of Triumph Gulf Coast, an organization created to disburse recovery funds collected in the aftermath of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Gaetz will serve on the board for a four-year term beginning July 1 through June 30, 2030, according to the letter from Perez included in Gaetz’s post.

The appointment would be Gaetz’s first step into public service since his nomination to serve as President Donald Trump’s attorney general flopped amid a House Ethics Committee probe.
