Nick Primrose is a lifelong conservative who has committed his professional life to public service. As a former Deputy General Counsel to Florida Governors Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott, Nick provided legal advice and counsel regarding economic prosperity, transportation, election security, and judicial appointments. While serving Governor DeSantis, Nick simultaneously served as the General Counsel for the Division of Emergency Management, providing legal advice during hurricane and natural disaster response, as well as navigating executive actions related to COVID-19. In August 2021, Nick was appointed as the Chair of the Florida Elections Commission by Governor DeSantis, charged with investigating violations of the election code and campaign finance laws.

Nick was born at Bayne Jones Army Community Hospital in Louisiana, where his parents were stationed at Fort Polk. He was raised by a single mother in Mayfield Heights, Ohio. He attended Lake Forest College, where he was a multiple conference champion on their Division III swim team. Nick also received a Master of Public Administration at DePaul University.

​Nick and his wife met in Tallahassee before moving to St. Johns County, where they live with their Golden Retriever, Hudson.
  • Nick is a dedicated public servant, having provided legal advice and counsel to Florida Governors Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis
  • Nick has a proven track record of fighting for Floridians and upholding the laws of the State of Florida. He is a committed constitutionalist who believes in limited government, free market principles.
  • Nick will take his experience working in Tallahassee to navigate the legislative process to benefit St. Johns County—by backing our law enforcement, improving transportation infrastructure, investing in economic growth, protecting our natural resources, and always ensuring parents have a choice and decision-making in their child’s education.
Nick believes in a limited government that reduces burdens on individuals and businesses. A government that makes smart financial decisions and returns as much as possible back to Floridians. Nick wants to make generational change in Florida by promoting economic growth, while preserving the natural beauty of Florida that we all love.
Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis
