Monique Worrell provides a statement after winning the race for the 9th Judicial Circuit Court of Florida.

“Tonight’s results underscore the resilience of our democracy and a powerful message from the people: No governor’s petty political maneuvers and no amount of dark money can silence the voices of thousands who demand a fair, smart approach to justice over the failed, outdated policies of the past. Despite a flood of over $2.5 million in Republican attack ads lying about my record, our community stood strong and united, declaring that enough is enough. We are ready to restore integrity and experience to the State Attorney’s office.

I am deeply grateful for the incredible support this campaign received from the community. Together, we’ll continue the work we began in 2020 that brought violent crime to its lowest level in a decade. We’re bringing back a State Attorney who knows this role isn’t about racking up convictions but about pursuing justice without bending to a political agenda. I am committed to leading with the integrity and dedication that this office and our community deserve. Today, we reclaim the leadership that will prioritize safety, fairness, and the true values of justice.”

Some Florida residents have reached out to WFTV wondering how former president Trump can vote in Florida after being convicted of a felony.

Here are the key facts as to why Donald Trump is allowed to cast his vote in The Sunshine State:

• Trump is permitted to vote in Florida because he was convicted on felony charges in New York, and Florida law defers to the law in the state of conviction to determine whether the person is allowed to vote.
• New York law states convicted felons are permitted to vote so long as they are not incarcerated.
• Trump has not yet been sentenced, and his sentencing is currently scheduled for Nov. 26, which could result in probation or jail time for the former president.
