    THE FLORIDA SENATE SENATE DEMOCRATIC OFFICE Location 200 Senate Building Mailing Address 404 South Monroe Street Tallahassee, Florida 32399-1100 (850) 487-5833 Professional Staff: David Cox, Staff Director AUDREY GIBSON Senate s Website: www.flsenate.gov Minority Leader December 11, 2018 The Honorable Ron DeSantis Governor-elect, State of Florida Transition Office, 16th Floor, The Capitol Tallahassee, FT 32399 Dear Governor-elect DeSantis, For the first time in almost 40 years, Florida s highest court stands at the threshold of reversing a legacy first established by former Governor Rubin Askew when he appointed Joseph W. Hatchett to fill a vacancy on the state Supreme Court. Justice Hatchett was the first African American to ascend to that position in Florida’s history, a testament to Governor Askew’s unwavering commitment to integration and equal justice. His judgement was overwhelmingly confirmed when Justice Hatchett won election in 1976. The historical appointment by Governor Askew stands in stark contrast to where we find ourselves today. With three upcoming vacancies on the Supreme Court, only 11 names out of a possible 18 have been submitted by the Judicial Nominating Commission. Not one is African American, despite six qualified African Americans having applied. This continues an appalling lack of diversity injudicial appointments made during your predecessor’s tenure as there has not been a single African American judge among Governor Scott’s 32 appointments to Florida’s five appellate courts. You have an opportunity to correct this stark imbalance as you have the power to insist on a full complement of 18 candidates to be considered.

On behalf of the millions of diverse constituents the Senate Democratic Caucus represents, we urge you to consider the dangers such a move presents. As you acknowledged earlier this month, we are experiencing a spike in incidents of gun violence throughout our state, most notably in South Florida. Florida kids are dying in the streets, and it is not at the hands of immigrants crossing the border. Your choice to divert Florida officers away from their local communities where they are desperately needed will handicap efforts to combat this critical and urgent public safety issue. Sheriffs’ deputies, highway patrol, the Fish and Wildlife Commission, and FDLE are all critical components in stemming the rising numbers of gun-related crime in our state, without which Floridians have diminished protection. Additionally, summer tourist season is upon us; with a reopened economy, surging numbers in communities coast-to-coast will demand a greater police presence to safeguard and protect Floridians and visitors alike.

  • This State Prosecutor Is Against Desantis' Anti-Protest Bill
    This state prosecutor is against DeSantis’ anti-protest bill | Opinion By ANDREW WARREN SPECIAL TO THE SUN SENTINEL FEB 10, 2021 AT 3:52 PM The “Combating Violence, Disorder and Looting and Law Enforcement Protection Act” advancing through the Florida Legislature is an assault on our democracy. Not only does it fail to advance public safety, it addresses none of the urgent policy needs of our communities. Florida will soon pass 30,000 deaths and two million infections from COVID-19. More than 600,000 Floridians are looking for work. Our schools desperately need help sorting out funding issues. Our government’s priorities should reflect these issues. It is bizarre and alarming that Gov. DeSantis and legislative leaders introduced this “anti-protest bill” as House Bill 1 — their top priority for the legislative session. The bill does nothing to create jobs, make us healthier or build a better school system. Instead, it pays only lip service to public safety and erodes basic freedoms. All across Florida, last year’s public demonstrations were almost entirely within the bounds of free speech and peaceful assembly. These demonstrations were filled with passionate signs and slogans, not broken windows or bones. That’s something Americans have supported since our founding day. During these demonstrations, some participants crossed the line into criminal activity. They damaged property, harassed people and some even attacked law enforcement. Existing laws already give police and prosecutors the tools to hold looters and rioters accountable. Here in Hillsborough County, my office is prosecuting more than 120 people for more than 260 separate criminal charges of looting, burglary, theft and attacking police.

    2013 ANNUAL REPORT 2 Emerge USA 2013 Annual Report 3 “Unto every one of you have We appointed a [different] law and way of life. And if God has so willed, He could surely have made you all one single community; but [he willed it otherwise] in order to test you by means of what he has vouchsafed unto you. Vie, then, with one another in doing good works! Unto God you must all return; and then He will make you truly understand all that on which you were wont to differ.” —Holy Quran, Surah 5, Verse 48. The Muslim community is the most civically engaged community in America. You heard me. This community has over the past 50 years raised hundreds of millions of dollars; built buildings; created schools; established free medical clinics, homeless shelters, domestic violence A Message shelters, and organizations for disaster relief abroad and at home; and numerous other efforts to help grow and sustain the world around us. However, we have limited from Our ourselves because our efforts have mostly focused on the Muslim community. While this was necessary in the past to build a strong infrastructure for the Muslim Co-Chairman community in America, it has created a barrier limiting engagement beyond the Muslim American community. Through the work of Emerge USA we are focusing on Khurrum Wahid changing this by creating our next generation of leaders that will work seamlessly without such barriers. Texas this expansion is part of a swing state strategy With an increase in voter turnout from approximate- in advance of the 2016 Presidential elections.
