Andrew Warren (D) defeated Elizabeth Martinez Strauss (D) in the Democratic primary for Hillsborough County, Florida, State Attorney on August 20, 2024
Andrew Warren (D) defeated Elizabeth Martinez Strauss (D) in the Democratic primary for Hillsborough County State Attorney in Florida on Aug. 20, 2024. The primary took place after Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) removed Warren from office in August 2022. The governor suspended Warren after Warren signed a pledge not to prosecute crimes related to abortion or gender transitions. In January 2023, a U.S. district court judge ruled that Warren’s action was protected under the First Amendment but that the court did not have the power to reinstate Warren. A three-judge panel found in January 2024 that the court did have the power to reinstate Warren and remanded the case to the trial court to determine whether the governor’s suspension of Warren had violated his rights. As of Aug. 21, 2024, the trial court had not ruled on whether to reinstate Warren.
