Ron DeSantis has once again shown he cares little for the democratic process. Removing duly elected local officials for ideological reasons is a gross misuse of an executive power that was codified to protect our citizens from neglect of duty and corruption. An honest disagreement over the enforceability of Florida's latest attack on the freedom of women does not justify autocratic behavior, especially when the law at issue is under constitutional review.

“Today’s announcement is all about distracting from the housing crisis in Florida, the Governor’s ambition to prosecute women who seek abortion care, and his relentless drive to use the people of our state to further his own political career. This is not freedom.”

Brandon Peters, one of two Democrats running to represent House District 22 in Levy, Gilchrist and Alachua counties, noted that the law is still the target of multiple legal challenges and called it a “gross misuse” of a gubernatorial power that should only be used to to protect citizens from a corrupt or neglectful officials.

“An honest disagreement over the enforceability of Florida’s latest attack on the freedom of women does not justify autocratic behavior, especially when the law at issue is under constitutional review,” Peters tweeted.
