Governor DeSantis Appoints Andrew Bain and Others to Florida Circuit Bench Amid Judiciary Expansion
Governor Ron DeSantis has appointed twelve judges across Florida, including Andrew Bain, to newly created judicial positions. This move is part of a broader effort to expand the judiciary under SB 2508, a law signed by DeSantis that adds 22 new circuit court judgeships, 15 new county court judgeships, and two new positions in the Sixth District Court of Appeal. Andrew Bain, a notable appointee, will serve on the 9th Judicial Circuit bench in Orange County. Bain's appointment follows his previous controversial appointment as Orange-Osceola State Attorney in 2023, after the suspension of Democrat Monique Worrell. Other appointees include Mark Skipper, Guy Flowers, Dane Leitner, and several others, who will fill various judicial roles across the state.
