Official Profile
Background: Tim Bobanic (R) — Brevard County Supervisor of Elections since October 1 2022 (appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis after Lori Scott's retirement). Previously ~10 years Brevard's Director of IT and Election Services under Scott; 4 years prior as IT Director for Hillsborough County SOE. BS Management Information Systems (USF); Master Florida Certified Elections Professional (MFCEP, 2020). Won 2024 R primary 59.62%-40.38% over outgoing County Commissioner John Tobia; advanced unopposed after write-in Sandra Cottrell withdrew. Religion not findable in public bio.
Next Election Year: 2028
ARCHETYPE: admin-only constitutional officer WITH measurable election-integrity record — third FL Brevard constitutional-officer pattern alongside (a) pure roster_verified [Blickley Property Appraiser + Cullen Tax Collector] and (b) evidence-local-with-fiscal-watchdog-audit [Sadoff Clerk/Comptroller]. Unlike Blickley/Cullen pure-admin, Bobanic earns evidence_local because his statutory wheelhouse IS election integrity — producing measurable output on the rubric's election-integrity axis. THREE TRUE cells: (1) election_integrity q0 — implemented and operates Brevard's 100% Clear Ballot independent post-election audit covering every race + precinct + ballot with 99.992% certified-to-audit match in 2024 General; all FL votes on paper, 22-month retention per statute; (2) election_integrity q1 — office enforces FL photo-ID-with-signature requirement at Early Voting + Election Day, mail ballots require name + DOB + addresses + DL or last-4-SSN + signature match; implemented SigView signature-verification system, won 2023 EAC Clearinghouse Award; (3) public_justice q1 — when Burns v. Bobanic mandamus alleged unequal treatment of R vs D candidate qualifying paperwork, Bobanic responded with internal audit + fired responsible staffer + publicly noted 3 of 4 disqualified candidates that cycle were Republicans (suggests non-partisan administration); Circuit Judge Scott Blaue dismissed suit for lack of standing. ALL OTHER RUBRIC CELLS NULL per LOCAL skill admin-only-constitutional-officer protocol — no findable statements on sanctity_of_life, biblical_marriage, family/child sovereignty, christian_liberty, border/immigration, self-defense, or broader fiscal positions outside statutory office duties. Religion not findable. EI q4 NULL — FL statutorily banned private election grants in SB 90 (2021); Brevard operates under ban but no Bobanic-specific public Zuckerbucks/CTCL statement located.
