As you embark on the latest edition of INFLUENCE Magazine<\/a>, one of the first things you might notice is the photo in the Publisher\u2019s Note. It\u2019s not an image of Michelle,\u00a0Ella, and me on our latest Disney cruise or holiday excursion.<\/p>\n

Instead, the photo you are looking at is a behind-the-scenes shot of Chelsea Workman photographing Susie Wiles in her White House office.<\/p>\n

In addition to being President Donald Trump\u2019s Chief of Staff, she\u2019s also a Florida Woman.<\/p>\n

She was one of the brains behind Rick Scott\u2019s political ascension and is credited with shaping Florida\u2019s Republican renaissance.<\/p>\n

Getting into her office now that she is what Trump describes as \u201cthe most powerful woman in the world\u201d is no easy feat.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s what this special edition of INFLUENCE Magazine is about.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a deep dive into Florida\u2019s takeover of Washington, D.C. The Trump administration is packed with Florida politicos and other bigwigs from South Florida to the Panhandle.<\/p>\n

So the edition is an introduction to those of you in D.C. to myself and my esteemed colleagues at Extensive Enterprises, which publishes this magazine, Florida Politics and Southeast Politics.<\/p>\n

This photo exemplifies what sets us apart \u2014 earning trust. This photo doesn\u2019t show paparazzi hounding the President\u2019s right-hand woman; it shows a talented photographer working under the Extensive Enterprises banner, with Wiles by invitation.<\/p>\n

That doesn\u2019t happen by accident.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Power players in Florida politics trust us to understand there are many sides to a story, and to get those sides. And they trust us enough to invite us into exclusive briefings, top-level meetings and even the White House itself.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s call this edition our expansion to D.C., in which we bring readers more coverage of the White House, our Florida Congressional delegation and the governmental affairs and special relationship that now exists between our nation\u2019s capital and the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

It begins with stellar work\u00a0by reporters\u00a0Jacob Ogles\u00a0and\u00a0Jesse Scheckner, who compiled what I believe is\u00a0the most comprehensive database of Florida Men and Women working in D.C.<\/p>\n

We have also included interviews with lobbyists who have taken the Trump train from Florida to D.C.<\/p>\n

And not to be outdone by ourselves, we\u2019ve also included a feature with provocateur Laura Loomer \u2014 an inclusion that may come as a shock to some \u2014 still a hard interview to land, which again demonstrates the trust we cultivate.<\/p>\n

There are also profiles from the other side of the aisle, with U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz, and from those who have seen politics in recent months at both the state and federal level, such as new U.S. Rep. Jimmy Patronis.<\/p>\n

While it will be hard to follow this stellar edition, we are also already looking forward to assembling the next one, which readers will rejoice to hear will include our INFLUENCE 150 in the new year.<\/p>\n

Until then, thank you for reading and, especially, for trusting.<\/p>\n
