Suspended State Attorney Worrell launches re-election campaign as she awaits Supreme Court ruling
https://www.clickorlando.com/news/politics/2024/01/18/suspended-state-attorney-worrell-launches-re-election-campaign-as-she-awaits-supreme-court-ruling/ORLANDO, Fla. – During his State of the State address last week, Gov. Ron DeSantis commended himself for removing prosecutors from office — Andrew Warren in Hillsborough County and Monique Worrell in Orange and Osceola counties.
While Worrell waits to see if her suspension will be overturned, she kicked off a re-election campaign this week.
“The governor has consistently used my unjust removal as a campaign talking point,” Worrell told News 6. “It’s 100% politically motivated.”
Just last week, Andrew Warren’s case for reinstatement got some hope.
In a 59-page ruling, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals kicked the case back to the original federal judge, writing, “the district court should reexamine” the case.
Meantime Worrell is waiting for Florida’s Supreme Court to rule on overturning her suspension.
