FLORIDA DEMOCRATS RESPOND TO DESANTIS APPOINTMENT OF ACTIVIST JUDGE TO SIXTH DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL
In response to the appointment of Liberty Counsel attorney Roger Gannam as Sixth District Court of Appeal Judge, the Florida Democratic Party has issued the following statement:
“This is outrageous,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried. “After Ron threw out a democratically elected State Attorney this week, he has continued his crusade to consolidate the courts and stack the judicial bench with activist judges like Roger Gannam, who has a long history of attacking women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community.”
“He would never be appointed to a federal bench. How can the people of Florida seriously expect a fair and impartial hearing when he can’t even answer a question about his own biases? He should be nowhere near a courtroom — in Florida or anywhere else.”
