Andrew Warren Biography – Andrew Warren Wiki

Andrew Warren is the former State Attorney of Florida’s 13th Judicial Circuit in Hillsborough County, Fl. He was elected as State Attorney in November 2016 and re-elected in November 2020. Warren led an office of approximately 130 prosecutors and 300 total employees whose mission “is to build a safer community while promoting justice and fairness for everyone in the criminal justice system.” He took office on January 3, 2017.

Warren previously served as a federal prosecutor with the United States Department of Justice. After initially prosecuting street crime in Washington, DC, he spent the majority of his career with the Justice Department prosecuting complex financial fraud all across the country—crimes that victimized retirees, investors, and taxpayers. Among other high-profile cases, he successfully prosecuted Robert Allen Stanford and other executives at Stanford Financial Group for orchestrating one of the largest frauds in history, a $7 billion Ponzi scheme. As a prosecutor, Warren earned multiple accolades from the Justice Department and federal law enforcement agencies, including the 2013 Attorney General Award for Trial Litigation. He has lectured and served on panels across the United States and abroad regarding criminal justice, and he was an instructor at the Justice Department’s national training center.

Warren studied economics and political science at Brandeis University before receiving his law degree from Columbia University. Following law school, he clerked in federal district court in San Francisco and then practiced complex criminal and civil litigation with an international law firm in New York and Washington, DC.

Andrew Warren State Attorney Suspension

On August 4, 2022, Governor Ron DeSantis suspended State Attorney Andrew Warren of the 13th Judicial Circuit due to neglect of duty. The Governor appointed Susan Lopez to serve as State Attorney for the period of suspension. The governor cited positions Warren has taken on abortion laws, transgender medical treatment and other issues.

Following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June 2022 to undo Roe v. Wade, Warren joined dozens of state prosecutors nationwide in saying they would not pursue criminal charges against “those who seek, provide or support abortions.”

In June 2021, he signed a letter from the same network vowing not to enforce laws that criminalize healthcare for transgender people. Those include bans on gender-affirming care for children and on transgender people using restrooms that align with their gender identity.

“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,” said Governor Ron DeSantis. “It is my duty to hold Florida’s elected officials to the highest standards for the people of Florida. I have the utmost trust that Judge Susan Lopez will lead the office through this transition and faithfully uphold the rule of law.”

Warren, the state attorney for Hillsborough County, released the following statement: “Today’s political stunt is an illegal overreach that continues a dangerous pattern by Ron DeSantis of using his office to further his own political ambition. It spits in the face of the voters of Hillsborough County who have twice elected me to serve them, not Ron DeSantis.

“In our community, crime is low, our Constitutional rights—including the right to privacy—are being upheld & the people have the right to elect their own leaders—not have them dictated by an aspiring presidential candidate who has shown time & again he feels accountable to no one.

“Just because the governor violates your rights, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.”
