PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY OF TOM GALLAGHER
Tom Gallagher has served more years as an elected state official than any other
individual in Florida history. He has served as a representative from Dade
County in the Florida Legislature, Insurance Commissioner and Fire Marshall,
Commissioner of Education, Secretary of Professional Regulations, member of
Florida cabinet and Chief Financial Officer, which oversaw banking and insurance
regulations as well as management of the Florida State Pension Fund. Following
his retirement as Chief Financial Officer, he has become involved in charitable
and business activities including serving on the Board of Advisors of The TRIAM
Group.
Gallagher was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1974 and served
until 1987. In 1984, he proposed a 10-year freeze on state taxes and spending,
and was for some time the Republican whip. Gallagher served as the Secretary of
the Department of Professional Regulation in the administration of Republican
Governor Bob Martinez. He served in the elected Cabinet position of Treasurer,
Insurance Commissioner and Fire Marshal from 1989 to 1995, and then in the
elected Cabinet position of Education Commissioner from 1999 to 2001, and again
as Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner and Fire Marshal from 2001 to 2003. After
the Cabinet position of Treasurer, Insurance Commissioner and Fire Marshal was
abolished, Gallagher became the Chief Financial Officer, with essentially the
same duties.
