Daniel Perez, the former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, has secured confirmation to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Brazil. Local 10 News anchor Glenna Milberg sat down with Perez to discuss his new diplomatic role and the path that led him to the position.

Perez previously held significant legislative influence in Florida, leading the state House before transitioning to the international diplomatic arena. His confirmation represents a major career shift from state-level governance to representing American interests abroad in one of Latin America’s largest nations.

The interview explores Perez’s background, his experience in state politics, and his vision for strengthening relations between the United States and Brazil. The segment aired as part of Local 10 News’ ongoing coverage of prominent South Florida figures and their professional achievements.
