Worrell was elected in 2020 as the State Attorney for Orange and Osceola Counties. Although voters elected her to the role, Worrell was removed from office by Governor Ron DeSantis and replaced with Andrew Bain. Shortly after the 2024 election, Bain’s administration has made comments about refusing to leave office against the will of the voters.

This is a developing story.
