Andrew Warren is an American District Attorney in Hillsborough County (13th Judicial Circuit). He is in the news (as of August 2022) for being suspended from his position as Representative for the 13th Circuit on August 4, 2022.
After the reversal of the Roe vs. Wade case, Gov. Ron DeSantis said that Warren was attempting to enforce several state laws. The governor used a stay clause, meaning he officially removed Warren from his position as prosecutor.
Early life
Andrew Warren was born in Gainesville in 1977 and was 45 years old in August 2022. Warren spent his childhood with two older brothers and a younger sister. His father moved from Boston in the 1970s to pursue teaching at the University of Florida. Warren is a graduate student at East Side High School in Gainesville, where he was an athlete in addition to his academic career. He played baseball and soccer and won a scholarship to Brandeis University near Boston, where he majored in political science and economics. He continued his junior years abroad at the London School of Economics.
Andrew Warren career
In November 2016, Democrats elected Andrew Warren to be the prosecutor for Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County. During this time, he clearly prevailed over his opposition and the Republican candidate Mark Ober with over 5,000 votes. In 2020, Andrew Warren again stood for the position, this time winning by more comfortable votes, nearly 4,600 compared to his opposition. The prosecutor has received many honors and awards for his work as a Department of Justice prosecutor. In 2013 he received the Attorney General Award for Trial Litigation.
risen to glory
Andrew Warren was a relatively anonymous Democratic attorney before election night in 2016, when he suddenly garnered about 5,000 votes more than opposition Republican incumbent Mark Ober in the race for the 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County. During that time, Warren’s victory was described by The Times as “a stunning surprise on election night.” Warren, now a former federal prosecutor, ran an aggressive campaign, often attacking his opponents for alleged absenteeism and lack of sensitivity to crime victims. The attack was aimed at the opponent of the 2016 election, where he targeted Republican Ober. However, Ober later said that both characteristics describing his intention in politics were misleading.
Removal/suspension from position
Gov. Ron DeSantis shocked Tampa Bay on Thursday (Aug. 4, 2022) when he suspended District Attorney Andrew Warren from his office and current position in the 13th Judicial Circuit, or as the District Attorney for Hillsborough County. DeSantis explained that Warren “put himself above the law” by promising not to enforce the law and still describes himself as a rising star in the progressive law enforcement community. Governor DeSantis’ decision follows steps taken by Andrew Warren to restrict abortion and children’s ability to seek treatments for gender dysphoria. The governor used a stay clause under Florida constitutional law that said he had the right to fire the prosecutor outright if necessary.
During his speech impeaching District Attorney Andrew Warren, DeSantis was asked if it was right to remove the elected authority from his position. At the time, DeSanbtis alluded that Warren’s campaign is well supported by a wealthy progressive system and he will certainly create a criminal justice system. DeSantis said that he’s being supported by the money of the people who don’t live in Florida and that they’re really trying to push the agenda on the Florida people. It also states that prosecutor Warren received tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions from billionaires outside of the state. Rumors of this type of support are believed to date back to the 2016 elections.
