Today, suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren announced that he will run for re-election in November. In response, the Florida Democratic Party issued the following statement:
“Andrew Warren is a fighter, and Hillsborough’s only duly elected State Attorney. We welcome his decision to run for re-election and stay in the fight to return as Hillsborough State Attorney. That decision is now rightfully in the hands of voters, not Ron DeSantis,” said FDP Chair Nikki Fried.
“For years, Andrew has challenged Ron DeSantis’s illegal and unconstitutional suspension and joins former State Attorney Monique Worrell, who was also unjustly removed by Ron DeSantis in seeking re-election. State Attorney Worrell was targeted and removed by Ron DeSantis in 2023 in a politically motivated stunt to score points on the debate stage during his failed presidential campaign.
“This is good news for voters in Hillsborough, Orange and Osceola counties and a reminder that in this critical election year, we have Democrats in the running who won’t back down from a fight.”
