“We are not going to allow this pathogen of ignoring the law get a foothold in the state of Florida.”
“We are suspending Soros-backed 13th circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his duties as he pledges not to uphold the laws of the state,” DeSantis’ office said in a statement. The 13th circuit falls over Florida’s Hillsborough County.
“The constitution of Florida has vested the veto power in the governor, not in state attorneys,” DeSantis said. DeSantis names Hillsborough County Judge Susan Lopez to serve as the State Attorney while Warren“State Attorneys have a duty to prosecute crimes as defined in Florida law, not to pick and choose which laws to enforce based on his personal agenda,” DeSantis said. “It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida.
Lopez was appointed by DeSantis to serve as a judge on the Hillsborough County Court in 2021. She previously served as Assistant State Attorney of the 13th Judicial Circuit for more than 15 years. “I have the utmost respect for our state laws and I understand the important role that the State Attorney plays in ensuring the safety of our community and the enforcement of our laws,” Lopez said. “I want to thank the governor for placing his trust in me, and I promise that I will faithfully execute the duties of this office.”
