Monique Worrell Reclaims Florida State Attorney Position

Suspended by Governor Ron DeSantis last year, Worrell wins reelection with 57% of the vote against his appointee Andrew Bain.

Monique Worrell, a Democrat, was suspended by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2023, accused of negligence and dereliction of duty.
Worrell's reelection is seen as a rejection of DeSantis's political maneuvers, with voters supporting her progressive approach to justice.
Andrew Bain, appointed by DeSantis and backed by conservatives, conceded after receiving nearly 43% of the vote.
The election was marked by controversy, including a lawsuit over alleged political manipulation to consolidate support for Bain.
Worrell pledges to continue her focus on second chances and rebuilding community-law enforcement relationships.
