Look who's running for AG in FL and wants to hold Desantis accountable

Anyone remember this viral video from 2017?
State Atty racially profiled



She needs all the support to oust the Republican AG supporting Desantis’ madness.

It’s A Power Grab’: Florida Attorney General Candidate Aramis Ayala Wants To Hold Gov. Ron DeSantis Accountable
Ayala stressed the importance of having a Florida attorney general who will put the people first.
Speaking with NewsOne, Ayala stressed the importance of having a Florida attorney general who will put the people first. She said the attorney general isn’t the governor’s personal lawyer and shouldn’t go along with everything he does.

“The Attorney General is an independent actor,” Ayala said. “When we look at what the attorney general should be doing and how she should be acting, it is not to cosign the governor. It is to speak for the people.”

She explained that the attorney general is a part of the Florida Cabinet, a body that serves as a check on the governor.

“The people created the Florida cabinet,” Ayala explained. “And this is the cabinet to oversee multiple agencies within the state so that the governor isn’t just lording over all of them.”
