Andrew Howard Warren (born 1977) is an American prosecutor and politician who served as the state attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, covering Hillsborough County, from 2017 through 2025.
[1] In 2009, he helped prosecute Texas financer Allen Stanford alongside Gregg Costa and William Stellmach.
[1] In November 2016, Democrat Warren defeated incumbent Republican prosecutor Mark Ober 50.4 to 49.6 percent to become the state attorney of Florida's 13th Judicial Circuit, Hillsborough County.
[3][5] Warren claims that criminal justice reform is needed to maximize long-term public safety by focusing on all the goals of the system: accountability and punishment, reducing recidivism, rehabilitation, and victims' rights.
[11] In January 2023, Federal Judge Robert Hinkle found that DeSantis had violated Warren's first amendment rights and the Constitution of Florida.
[13][14][15] Meanwhile, in June 2023, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that Warren had engaged in an unreasonable delay in requesting their help, and therefore decided not to address the merits of his case.
[17][18] On April 16, 2024, while his federal lawsuit remained pending, Warren announced that he was seeking re-election as Hillsborough’s state attorney.
[19] In the November 2024 general election, Warren is expected to face Susan "Suzy" Lopez, the Republican appointed by Gov.
[20] Unlike his counterpart in Orange-Osceola, Monique Worrell, also dismissed by the governor, Warren lost his bid for re-election, losing to Suzy Lopez on Nov. 5, 2024.
